Prayer for December 2
O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you
as the day rises to meet the sun.
Praise to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.
Come, let us bow down and bend the knee : let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
O Lord, listen to the song of your saints who cry, “How long?”
Psalm 12:1-5
Help me, Lord, for there is no godly one left : the faithful have vanished from among us.
Everyone speaks falsely with his neighbor : with a smooth tongue they speak from a double heart.
Oh, that the Lord would cut off all smooth tongues : and close the lips that utter proud boasts!
Those who say, “With our tongue will we prevail : our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”
“Because the needy are oppressed, and the poor cry out in misery : I will rise up,” says the Lord, “and give them the help they long for.”
O Lord, listen tot he song of your saints who cry, “How long?”
Let's hear from you!
