Psalm 85  O how marvelous are the works of our God! As He did for the nation of Israel, He does for us:
He shows us favor! (It is by grace that we are saved!)
He rescues us from captivity.
He forgives our iniquity.
He covers our sins.
He withholds His wrath and turns away His anger.
He restores us into fellowship with Himself.
He is the God of salvation!
"Show us Thy loving kindness O Lord, and grant us Thy salvation."  We need You. We seek You.

"I will hear what God the Lord will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones;"
I am listening Lord. Your Word always speaks peace. "Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth springs from the earth and righteousness looks down from Heaven."   This is a description of God's Kingdom.  This is what we ask for when we pray, "Thy Kingdom come".   Verse 9 "Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land."

Abba, Let Your Kingdom come that Your glory may be made manifest in our lives today.  Let Your Kingdom come to our families, to our communities, to our nation.  Speak peace to our hearts for we live in a time of trouble.  But You have overcome the world.  Bring loving kindness and truth and righteousness... grant us Your salvation. May many more people come to bow before You, to fear You, to repent and turn back to You, so that they may also find favor, forgiveness, and fellowship with You.  Let Your Kingdom come!
Amen
