God Gathers Us
Call to Worship - Psalm 67
To be read aloud by someone in your home:
May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine on us—
so that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.
May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples with equity
and guide the nations of the earth.
May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.
The land yields its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.
May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.
Opening Prayer
Take some time to read this Psalm again, slowly. Notice the boldness here in asking for God’s blessing, but also the purpose for which God’s people are blessed - for the blessing of the whole earth.
Then take a few minutes to think about how the Lord has blessed you. Be specific - what gifts do you have from Him that you are especially grateful for this year?
Then pray, thanking God for the blessings He has given you and His plan to bless the whole earth through His Son and His Church. Ask Him to guide you in what ways you can be a blessing to others in His name.
