Psalm 137

1 Chapter: Psalm 137

1 Verse:
Verse 4. How can we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?

1 Prayer: Father, teach me how to sing Your song in the midst of this land where I live. It is not my home -- my home is in heaven. This is a foreign land, a far country, in which I am but a pilgrim and a sojourner. I am in this world, but not of it. Is that why it is so hard for me to get comfortable here? Does that explain my unhappiness? I want to know peace -- Your peace -- and I know it has to come from You. In this world I have trouble, but You have overcome the world. Overcome my troubled spirit, Father, and grant me peace. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Here I will sing Your song.
