Psalm 27:1-3

June 14, 2008

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? (Psalm 27:1)
      LORD, send forth your light into the surrounding darkness; light the way for your faithful people; set us free from fear. Please light the way for Bishop Bill as he prepares for GAFCON and Lambeth.

The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1)
      Father, please fill us anew with the strength of your Holy Spirit so that we can press on to know Jesus and his cross and resurrection in our lives. Set us free from worldly fears and doubts.

When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. (Psalm 27:2)
      Jesus, defeat every enemy that comes against us; thank you for defeating the last enemy: death.

Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident. (Psalm 27:3)
      Holy Spirit, fill us with confidence in Jesus. Even though this diocese is surrounded by many enemies, help us to know, as Elisha’s servant learned, that there a more for us than there are against us.

And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (2 Kings 6:15-17)
