The Bible is personal

I love God's Word. It's meant to be personal. Here I took Psalm 126 and made it into my own prayer.

My Psalm 126: 1 – 3

It would be a dream, too good to be true

To be a safe place where we could

Share our hopes & dreams, our despair,

Our wounded cowering self, our sin

And still be loved, respected, and valued.

There would be laughing, singing, we would be

The talk of the world,

“God is wonderful among them.”

We would agree,

“God is wonderful to us. We are one

One happy community, ever enlarging its borders.”

Try this with your favorite Psalm and let me know how it turned out.

Extravagant blessings,

Sandra

Prayer Journey.... "A Great Company"

"A Great Company" is a contemplative prayer journey through Psalm 68. It is an at-home devotion, intended to be done once a week, on Tuesday, sometime during the fourth watch (anytime between 3 am and 6 am).
Psalm 68:11, "The Lord gave the word and great was the company of those that published it." The word company in the original Hebrew language implies a female company!
