Psalm 34:1-3
I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth. In the Lord my soul will boast. The humble will hear and rejoice. Proclaim the greatness of the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Forgive us when our thoughts and words do not bless you. Renew us, Lord, when we chase after the world’s ways, guide us to turn to you for forgiveness. Please create in us clean hearts; that we will rejoice in the forgiveness Jesus won for us on the cross and, through your Spirit, deliver the gift of our salvation. Out of our faith, we lift your name on high, sharing this good news with others; let our confidence be in the forgiveness Jesus won for us when he willingly went to the cross to suffer for everything we have ever done wrong—all our iniquities. Humble us, Lord, take away our pride so that we realize our sins, bring them before you with repentant and humble hearts, and receive your forgiveness for Jesus’ sake. Change our hearts to share that good news with those who do not know your love. Humble us that we put our fears aside to share the good news of Jesus with others and sing the blessing of your grace, mercy, and love. As a body of believers, may we come together with one voice and lift your name as our salvational banner because Jesus has delivered salvation and eternal life, which comes to us through faith in Christ. Lord, please restore us to you through your Spirit, who is one with you and your Son, Jesus, who died to make our eternal life possible. Amen.
