Psalm 29

1 Chapter: Psalm 29

1 Verse: Verse 11. The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.

1 Prayer: Father, is it really Your voice that is stripping the cedars of Lebanon bare? Does strength only come from military force? Is peace only achieved through violence? Your people are on all sides, on both sides, on neither side, surrounded by enemies, entangled in governments, victimized by history, oppressed by economics, paralyzed by politics, yet still You bless us with peace that passes understanding. Our world seems able to understand only one kind of peace -- peace bought with weapons of war. We need Your miraculous, other-worldly, incomprehensible peace instead.

1 Chapter: Psalm 28



1 Verse: 11 The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.

1 Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that our victories don't depend on the strength that we as people can muster. The power is Yours -- therefore the victories are made in Your name! Keep reminding your people that Your ways are different than ours. Help us Lord, to turn our hearts towards You, because in Your presence there is peace.
