Read Psalm 85
Lord,
you have been merciful to your land; you have made Israel
prosperous again.
2You have forgiven your people’s sins
and pardoned all their wrongs.
3You stopped being angry with them
and held back your furious rage.
4Bring us back, O God our saviour,
and stop being displeased with us!
5Will you be angry with us for ever?
Will your anger never cease?
6Make us strong again,
and we, your people, will praise you.
7Show us your constant love, O Lord,
and give us your saving help.
8I am listening to what the Lord
God is saying;
he promises peace to us, his own people,
if we do not go back to our foolish ways.
9Surely he is ready to save those who honour him,
and his saving presence will remain in our land.
10Love and faithfulness will meet;
righteousness and peace will embrace.
11Human loyalty will reach up from the earth,
and God’s righteousness will look down from heaven.
12The Lord will
make us prosperous,
and our land will produce rich harvests.
13Righteousness will go before the Lord
and prepare the path for him.
Think
"Surely he is ready to save those who honour him..." - Verse 9
God is waiting for us to turn to him.
Pray
Lord help me to turn to you. And
Lord I pray for those whom I know need to turn to you.
