Scripture Prayer

Psalm 40: 3
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.

Psalm 40: 5
Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us no one can recount to you;
Were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.

Psalm 40:16
But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
May those who love your salvation always say, “The Lord be exalted!”

Lord, we continue to pray for the ministries of Fr. Shaw and Mother Julie and Lydia Mudge and for Bishop Mike Chapman and his wife, Linda. We thank You for all that You have done in the past week. We pray for the whole diocese of Peru that all involved can work together in unity, guided by your Holy Spirit, ever marching forward and bringing your love and your message to all to whom they minister. May there be a spirit of praise and exaltation in worship and a spirit of trust in You as they obey your orders to go and make disciples. Thank You for all of the blessings that you have already sent to the Mudges. Especially thank You that Lydia has been accepted at the college of her choice. Thank You for your plans for her. And thank You for the wonderful plans you have for the diocese of Peru. Many are the wonders that you have done, and we know that there will be many other wonders. May all who seek You rejoice and be glad. You are exalted, Lord! Amen.
