Praise and petition for guidance

Psalm 136 (New International Version), selected verses:

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
4 to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
5 who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.
6 who spread out the earth upon the waters,
His love endures forever.
7 who made the great lights—
His love endures forever.
8 the sun to govern the day,
His love endures forever.
9 the moon and stars to govern the night;
His love endures forever.
16 to him who led his people through the desert,
His love endures forever.

O God of gods and Lord of lords,
Your mercy endures forever. What a gracious God You are.
Our sin has brought us into the wilderness. Go before us and shield us by day. May Your Spirit hover over us and enlighten our spirits by night.
Hallelujah to the King of kings!
You created space and energy and sound. Fill the air around us with the heavenly cadence of angel wings, the swish and swoosh of neverending praise.
Hallelujah to the King of kings!
You aligned the nebulae, stars, and planets in outer space. Christ is our Light. Bring our wayward spirits, souls, and bodies into Your perfect alignment that Christ may govern us and we may reflect His light.
Hallelujah to the King of kings! Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!
