Psalm 66:8-12 (English Standard Version)

Father, we look to the heavens above in trust. Let Your Holy Spirit flow through all these people who are heavy burdened. Give them new strength and new hope. Bring them to a place of abundance–a place that reflects Your glory and Your love, Your tender mercies and Your strong protection. We keep our eyes on You, Lord. We keep our eyes on You. Amen.
