God, be merciful to us and bless us.
Let Your face shine upon us,
so Your ways may be known on the earth
and Your saving strength among all nations.
Let the people praise You, O God.
Let all the peoples praise You.
O, let the nations be glad and sing for joy
for You shall judge us rightly
and govern the nations of the earth.
Let the people praise You, O God.
Let all the peoples praise You.
Then the earth will yield abundance,
and You, God, our God, shall bless us.
Yes, God shall bless us,
and all the ends of the earth will hold You in awe.
prayer-a-phrase by Mary Harwell Sayler

A call to prayer
Praise the LORD God!
Call upon His Name.
Make His acts known among the people.
Tell everyone
His Name is above all names.
Sing of the LORD
Who does glorious things,
and let this be known
in all the earth.
Sing and shout for joy,
all peoples of God,
for great in our midst
is the Holy One,
the God of Israel.
Isaiah 12:4-6

Whole body clothed in praise
Seeking the prayers of the Bible in the Daily Bible Readings often brings days of interesting stories, proverbs, parables, or prophecies, but not necessarily prayer. Today, however, choices arose in the passage from Isaiah below and the Gospel reading from Luke 1:46-55, also known as The Magnificat. Since “The song of Mary, Mother of Jesus” had previously been prayer-a-phrased here, I encourage you to visit that post, too, to see and hear how beautifully Mary embodied this prayer-life of praise from the Prophets.
Greatly will I rejoice in the LORD!
My whole being shall exult in my God,
Who clothes me with garments of salvation.
God has robed me in righteousness –
the way a bridegroom wears a garland
or jewels adorn a bride.
The whole earth brings forth beauty
like a spring garden with shoots growing
from what’s sown.
So the Lord God has sown us
with righteousness and praise
ready to spring into flower
and clothe the nations.
