Psalm 66 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 66.

Meditate on verse 16.

Come and hear, all who fear God,

and I will tell of what He has done for my soul.

The psalmist was excited about the LORD and wanted people to know what God had done.  He recalled things the LORD did in the past, like turning the sea into dry land (Psalm 66:2).  He acknowledged what God was doing in the present, like not allowing his feet to slip (Psalm 66:9).  He admitted that God had tested him and laid an oppressive burden on him, but it was not without purpose; the LORD refined him like silver is refined (Psalm 66:10-11).  And, after going through the fire, the LORD brought him into a place of abundance (Psalm 66:12).

Do you have a story to tell about journeying with the LORD?  What has He done for Your soul?  Recall His faithfulness in the past; recognize His faithfulness today; rest assured of His faithfulness in the future.

Pray Psalm 66:8-9 and 18-20 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“We bless You, God, and sound Your praise abroad.

Please keep _________ and me in life,

 and do not allow our feet to slip.

Do not let us regard wickedness in our hearts;

we want You to hear us.

Give heed to the voice of our prayers!

We bless You, God.

Do not turn away our prayers

nor Your lovingkindness from us.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
