Psalm 127

1 Chapter: Psalm 127

1 Verse: Verse 1. Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain.

1 Prayer: Father, I need You to work on my behalf. I need You to take away the vanity of my labor. Nothing is sound apart from You. All the edifices I erect crumble. All the time I spend is wasted, when You are not at work within it, within me. Jesus says You are always working, and I believe Him. But I'm like a watchman who stays up all night to see something that never materializes. Perhaps I'm looking for the wrong thing, or in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Maybe I don't know what to look for. Maybe Your help comes unlooked for and unseen. Whatever it is, Father, I trust You to work on my behalf. I trust You to be in the midst of my seemingly meaningless labors. You are the only One who redeems all time, all misplaced effort. Thank You for redeeming me and mine.
