A prayer for today

Isaiah 33:2, 5-6, 22

O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you.
Be our arm every morning,
our salvation in the time of trouble.

The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high;
he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness,
and he will be the stability of your times,
abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;
the fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.

For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver;
the Lord is our king; he will save us.

Found lots of encouragement in these verses this morning. It’s been hard to find the right words, but these verses gave me the words to pray today.

Lord, be gracious to us. We wait for You. Be our strength this morning and every day. Save us from this troubled time. Lord, You are on high. You are exalted above all other authority. You will bring justice and righteousness for Zion and Peter even when things seem unfair for them at the moment. You are the stability of our times. In You we find abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. We find much peace knowing You are Judge. You are the ultimate Lawgiver and You are King. You will save us. Amen.

The situation doesn't feel good at the moment, but we wait with hope and expectation for the good that God is working through it all for His glory!
