Scripture Reading

Read aloud (together if applicable).

R-5 GOD’S GOODNESS 上帝的良善

Psalm 34:3-10, 17-19, 22 (NKJV)


Oh, magnify the LORD with me,

And let us exalt His name together.


I sought the LORD, and He heard me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

They looked to Him and were radiant,

And their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him,

And saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him,

And delivers them.


Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;

Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints!

There is no want to those who fear Him.

The young lions lack and suffer hunger;

But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.


The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears,

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart,

And saves such as have a contrite spirit.


Many are the afflictions of the righteous,

But the LORD delivers him out of them all.


The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,

And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.

Worship through Prayer

  1. Lord, teach me to wait on You. Give me the faith and patience to wait for You to act on my behalf. Let me trust that Your timing is always perfect. Purify my heart and strengthen my soul while I wait. 

  2. Forgive me for my constant worrying when I wait. Fear overtakes me. My heart becomes restless. My mind has no peace. Have mercy, O Lord. Help me to be still and learn to rest while I wait. It is good for me to rest and wait upon You.

  3. Your Word is precious especially in the season of waiting. Let Your Word speak to me as You so desire and I will listen. Let me hold on to Your promises while I wait, for You are a promise-keeping God. You will not forget me. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
