Pause & Pray: July 5, 2020

Lord,

You know our thoughts,

Our emotions,

Our pain.

You hear our silent prayers,

The ones hidden deep inside our heart,

Far from the face we show the world.

Give us strength when we feel unable to take the next step.

Help us up when we fall.

Fill us with your peace when we worry.

Give us joy in the midst of pain.

We are yours.

We are yours.

We are yours alone.

Amen.

8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 Lord, you are good to all,
and your compassion is over all your works.
10 All your works shall praise you, O Lord,
and your faithful ones shall bless you.
11 They shall tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your power,
12 that all people may know of your power
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your dominion endures throughout all ages.
You, Lord, are faithful in all your words, and loving in all your works.
14 The Lord upholds all those who fall
and lifts up those who are bowed down.

-Psalm 145:8-14
