- In this powerful morning prayer from Psalm 3 we acknowledge with the psalmist King David, that we live in a troubled world, where anxiety can so easily overtake us, and therefore we draw close to God for protection and renewed confidence to live bold and joyful lives.
In this prayer video we pray into two topics that are present in Psalm 3:
1. Acknowledging our challenges and being deeply honest to God about our need for help.
2. Placing our trust in God's protection by placing our fears and doubts in his hands.

Part of the Praying the Psalms Series.
Every video opens up the daily psalm with a short introduction that connects the psalm with our lives today, followed by a reading of the psalm. Then we go into the actual prayer time by drawing out two prayer topics that are present in the psalm. With each topic there will be a minute of silence, where we all pray together in our own words or thoughts or by writing in the comment section. The videos conclude with a powerful closing ritual consisting of a prayer, The Lord's Prayer / The Our Father and finally The Blessing spoken over you and your family followed by you speaking The Blessing over your neighbourhood, your nation and the world.
The accompanying song today is called "Snowfall". The cold and darkness of winter is something that leaves many of us with a sense of moodiness and for some even depression. But the one thing that can truly light up the winters is when the snow starts falling. Then the light strangely returns, because the white snow lights up the darkness. The children come out to play and a new joy and freshness enters our hearts and minds. In that sense snowfall is a picture of the Spirit of God falling on us, bringing renewal and joy to our souls. Fall on us today Holy Spirit as we pray from Psalm 3!
God bless you as you join in this prayer time accompanied by the beautiful music by Scott Buckley - Snowfall.

We choose the music to our videos by the rythms and moods we think best accompanies the theme of the psalm being prayed. Sometimes the music is composed by Christian artists and sometimes not. There is a very long tradition at least heading back to reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin in the 16th century and on to John and Charles Wesley i the 18th of taking popular pub and drinking songs and turning them into Christian praise songs and hymns. The Gospel has always been preached this way, most notably going back to the opening of the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The term "the Word" is the greek term "logos". This term was used in greek philosophy and religious thought to designate the "divine reason". So it is a religious term used in a different religous world and practice, but John redefines it to designate Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it - Psalm 24:1.

Dear God, protect us from any attacks, spiritually or physically, that may prevent us from focusing on You, and leading us astray.

Amen!
Thank you Lord that you are in charge, also when things change everywhere. Thank you that you are the rock that doesn't shake when we sometimes do. Glory to You!
Yes, He is the rock that stands even through the fiercest storms! 💪

I Praise You Lord
