R-1 WORSHIP IN GOD’S HOUSE 在上帝殿中敬拜
Psalm 84:1-5, 7-12 (NKJV)
How lovely is Your tabernacle,
O LORD of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young一
Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
My King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You. Selah
Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
They go from strength to strength;
Each one appears before God in Zion.
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
O LORD of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!

Worship Through Prayer
Father, carry me through each storm that comes into my life. Protect my heart and mind safely in the Lord Jesus. When temptations strongly compel me to doubt and lose faith in You, please fill me with Your truth and Your power to resist the enemy of my soul. Fight for me, Lord, and save me.
Each storm of life is a blessing in disguise that brings about Your greater good in me. You are sovereignly in control of everything and nothing happens apart from Your will. Let me cling tightly to You for only by doing so would I be able to overcome each trial and temptation that come my way. Lord, hold me tight.
Mighty are You not only to save me but also to keep me safe in You forevermore. I praise You, Lord. Help me to prepare myself for incoming storms with my eyes firmly fixed on You. Let me experience more of Your power and glory in every weather and season of life. Lord, I want to see You clearly. Open and bless my eyes. In Jesus' name. Amen.
