Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 81:1

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! Psalm 98:4

DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 98
As you prepare to receive God’s Word tonight, clear your mind of any distractions. Ask God to help you focus on Him, not on any worries that linger in your mind. Allow the Word to renew your spirit. The Bible reminds us we do not have to be afraid of the evil in this world because our victory is in the Lord; He has already won the battles we face.

One of the best ways to remind us of the Lord’s victory is through, especially when we don’t feel like expressing it. Praise turns our focus from the darkness that worry and anxiety bring and fixes our gaze on the goodness of our Father. Tonight, let’s open our hearts to the Lord and praise Him for who He is and how He’s working in our lives.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: When we are overwhelmed, this psalm reminds us of the joy and victory we have in the Lord, calming our minds and soothing our souls. Know His love and faithfulness will sustain you through life’s ups and downs. Know you can rest safely in His arms tonight.

CONFESSION: Think of a time when you cast unnecessary judgment on someone, confessing any arrogance in your heart. Ask for God’s forgiveness. Ask for Him to remind you that He is the righteous judge who will bring the best type of mercy and justice to our world.

THANKSGIVING: Think of all the marvelous things God has done in your life, from small to large. Thank Him for the blessings He has given you in the past. Thank Him for His love and faithfulness that sustain you in your present.

SUPPLICATION: Lord, I am so blessed to call You Father. I’m so blessed to call You a friend. I open my heart and life to You now; I want Your wisdom and goodness to guide me. Increase my faith. Please keep me in perfect peace tonight as I surrender my cares of this day to You and find rest in You. Lord, You are the One from whom all blessings flow. Amen.

PRAYER
“Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!”
PSALM 81:1
Dear Lord, tonight I pray that You would quiet my mind so I can hear Your voice. As I lean into slumber’s embrace, I submit my thoughts to Your will. I do not want to be stubborn or assume I have all the answers to life’s questions. Your word alone holds power for perfect peace and sobriety. Speak clearly to me, Lord, amidst culture's loud and chaotic clamor. Grab my ears and make me listen, for I know Your voice will give me serenity and relaxation. Drown out the noise of the world so I may focus solely on Your word. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
