OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

_DATE:  THURSDAY APRIL 28TH APRIL_

*THEME:  PRAYERS FOR YOUR COMMUNITY*

*MEMORISE:*

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Psalms 133: 1 

*BIBLE READING: PSALMS 133:1 -3*

1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

*PRAYERS:*

 1. Thank You Lord, for my community. Thank You for planting me in this community and for all my neighbors.

 2. Father, just as You adopted Jerusalem to be called the city of God, adopt my community to become your own, in Jesus' name. As you stopped the plague from entering Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 24:14, let no plague or evil happening anywhere around the world come near my community, in Jesus, name.

 3. Father, l pray for all the children in my community, that they will grow up to know and love You in Jesus' name.

 4. Father, let this community be a blessing to my state and country, in Jesus' name. Let great things and great people come out of this community to make my country proud, in Jesus' name.

 5. Father, l speak against any communal disagreement with our neighboring communities, in Jesus' name. There will be no riots or civil war in our communities, in Jesus' name.

 6. Father, please preserve my community from all the corruption in the world. Please don't let this community be known for any form of corruption, in Jesus' name.

 7. Father, increase our love and togetherness in this community. Let us all live as one in peace and unity, in Jesus' name.

 8. Father, please protect my community and our neighbors from natural disasters, in Jesus' name.

 10. Father, please use me to bring revival to my community. Use me to winter souls of all my neighbors to You and to establish You as the Lord of my community, in Jesus' name.

 11. Father, please visit every family going through a difficult, time in my community. Lord, visit them and calm every storm in their homes, in Jesus' name. Please raise helpers for them and let all their troubles be removed, in Jesus' name.

*HYMN 26: WE ARE NEVER NEVER WEARY OF THE GRAND OLD SONG*

1. We are never, never weary 

of the grand old song;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We can sing it loud as ever, 

with our faith more strong;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

   *Refrain*

O, the children of the Lord have 

a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright, 

and our souls are on the wing;

We are going by and by 

to the palace of a King!

Glory to God, hallelujah!

2. We are lost amid the 

rapture of redeeming love

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We are rising on its pinions 

to the hills above:

Glory to God, hallelujah! 

3. We are going to a palace 

that is built of gold;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

Where the King in all His 

splendor we shall soon behold

Glory to God, hallelujah! 

4. There we’ll shout redeeming 

mercy in a glad, new song;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

There we’ll sing the praise of Jesus 

with the blood washed throng;

Glory to God, hallelujah!
