The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the LORD with these words:“He is good!
His faithful love endures forever!”At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the LORD. The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the LORD filled the Temple of God.—2 Chronicles 5:13-14 (NLT)
Gracious LORD,
May the thick cloud of Your glorious presence fill the temple of my spirit, as I raise my voice in praise and thanks to You—and by the power of Your Spirit, blend my voice with every other follower of Christ in perfect unity, so that all we know is You!
May there be such a spirit
of unity between my own heart and the hearts of all my brothers and sisters in
Christ, that we would come together as one voice, praising and giving thanks to
You—so that Your Spirit would fall on us and Your presence would fill our
hearts, our homes, our churches, our nation and even our whole world.
For in Your perfect
presence we find everything that we need—healing for our hurts, strength for
our weakness, forgiveness for our sin, humility for our pride, comfort for our
sorrows, peace for our turmoil, joy for our sadness, understanding for our
confusion, courage for our fear, freedom from our bondage, hope for our future,
and wisdom to live obediently—as we allow the love of Christ to live in us, for
His glory, honor and praise.
May the thick cloud of Your glorious presence fill the temple of my spirit, as I raise my voice in praise and thanks to You—and by the power of Your Spirit, blend my voice with every other follower of Christ in perfect unity, so that all we know is You!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
