Psalm 122 Peace and Prosperity
--------
May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels.
For the sake of my family and friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your prosperity.
--------
We tend to think peace and prosperity (shalom) are our birthrights.
The past couple of years has shown us this is not so.
Shalom is a fragile gift of God, and it is linked to the peace and prosperity to the House of God, the Church.
Pray for the Peace and Prosperity of our land.
Pray for the Peace and Prosperity of the Church.
---------
Peace, peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above,
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.
