Prayer List
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with honor and majesty, wrapped in light as with a garment.
You stretch out the heavens like a tent;
you set the beams of your palace on the waters;
you use the clouds as your chariot; you ride on the wings of the wind;
you make the winds your messengers, fire and flame your ministers...
You cause the grass to grow for the cattle and plants for us to cultivate,
to get food from the soil
and wine to cheer our hearts,
oil to make our faces shine
and bread to strengthen our life...
O God, what a variety you have created! Arranging everything so wisely;
the earth is filled with your creativity...
When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath,
they die and return to their dust.
When you send forth your breath, fresh life begins and you renew the face of the earth.
May the glory of God endure forever;
may you find joy in your creation!
You look on the earth and it trembles,
you touch the mountains and they smoke.
I will sing to you as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
~ selections from Psalm 104 (translation used in our Compassion Camp curriculum - by Illustrated Ministry)
