A Prayer of Praise[a]

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

I will fear no one.

The Lord protects me from all danger;

I will never be afraid.

2 When evil people attack me and try to kill me,

they stumble and fall.

3 Even if a whole army surrounds me,

I will not be afraid;

even if enemies attack me,

I will still trust God.


4 I have asked the Lord for one thing;


one thing only do I want:


to live in the Lord's house all my life,


to marvel there at his goodness,


and to ask for his guidance.


5 In times of trouble he will shelter me;


he will keep me safe in his Temple


and make me secure on a high rock.


6 So I will triumph over my enemies around me.


With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple;


I will sing, I will praise the Lord.


7 Hear me, Lord, when I call to you!


Be merciful and answer me!


8 When you said, “Come worship me,â€


I answered, “I will come, Lord.â€


9 Don't hide yourself from me!


Don't be angry with me;


don't turn your servant away.


You have been my help;


don't leave me, don't abandon me,


O God, my savior.


10 My father and mother may abandon me,


but the Lord will take care of me.


11 Teach me, Lord, what you want me to do,


and lead me along a safe path,


because I have many enemies.


12 Don't abandon me to my enemies,


who attack me with lies and threats.


13 I know that I will live to see


the Lord's goodness in this present life.


14 Trust in the Lord.


Have faith, do not despair.


Trust in the Lord.

Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
