Father, we come to You to bring our petition in spirit and truth. We find no better words than that of this song for the dedication of the house of David. We cry out to You, O LORD. We make our supplication: what profit is there in our blood, when we go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? Hear us, O LORD, and have mercy on us; LORD, be our helper! You have turned for us our mourning into dancing; You have put off our sackcloth and clothed us with gladness, to the end that our glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD our God, we will give thanks to You Forever.
Your mighty works go before us to prove that You are who You say You are. Your compassion establishes that You do as You promise. We will not remain silent. Be glorified in our worship and praise, Father, in the name and authority of Jesus, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“I cried out to You, O LORD; And to the LORD I made supplication: ‘What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper!’ You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.” (Psalms 30: 8-12 NKJV)
