1 Chapter: Psalm 97
1 Verse: Verse 12. Be glad in the LORD, you righteous ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
1 Prayer: Father, if I am glad, it is only because of You. If I am righteous, it is only because of You. How can I not give You thanks for such great gifts? You alone are so gracious as to freely give Your righteousness to one like me. You make me glad. I will be glad in You and thankful for Your many gifts today. I love You, Father.

Psalm 96
1 Chapter: Psalm 96
1 Verse: Verse 10. Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns; indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity."
1 Prayer: Father, the rulers of nations are nothing compared to You. You are the One and Only King. You reign over nations and peoples -- and over the whole of all the world that You have made. Nothing is going to shake up Your kingdom -- no preemptive strike, no war of choice, no insurgency, no occupation, no mid-term election, no bombshell revelation, no cover-up, no scandal, no secret emails, no attack ads, no smear campaign, no media bias, no spin. You judge rightly. You judge everyone from the least to the greatest with the same balance scales. There is no favoritism of wealth or insider influence or popular vote or political power. I ca't wait, Lord, for Your judgment to come down, but I know it is not yet. As hard as it is to wait, I'm glad You are patient. Nothing is going to rush Your sovereign grace. Still, help me to "say among the nations" that You reign, and that Your perfect hope of salvation is on its way and here right now, once and future, already and not yet, present and still to come.

Psalm 93
1 Chapter: Psalm 93
1 Verse: Verse 4. More than the sounds of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty.
1 Prayer: Father, why should I doubt that You are more powerful than all that You have made? Nothing is beyond You. Yet I so easily forget. I can't seem to hear You over the crashing of the waves, the roaring of the wind. I keep trying to still them all. But You don't need to wait for that. You are stronger than all their bluster combined. I need to remember that when the winds and waves are high, You are always higher.
