9/14 Psalm 122
1 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” 2 And now we are standing here inside your gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is a well-built city, knit together as a single unit. 4 All the people of Israel — the LORD’s people — make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD as the law requires. 5 Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. 7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. 8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be with you.” 9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
PEACE
Please pray for peace in Jerusalem. It is consistently front page news with its chaos and fighting. We are called to pray for peace in Jerusalem. We are rewarded when we pray for peace in Jerusalem. My prayer is for peace in Jerusalem and peace in your life. Lord give us peace.
SEPTEMBER 14 – PEACE
