Psalm 2

1. Lord, help us to remember that you are in control. Everything of the world goes against who you are. May we not get caught up in the lures of this world. We spend so much of our time devising our own plans and we neglect to include you in them. Help us to remember you in all our decisions, help us to seek your wisdom through your Word as you direct our steps.

2. The world seeks fame, fortune, and their own desires. The world seeks for power, they seek to take all glory away from God and heap it on themselves. Just as you were when you came to earth, the world mocks you and seeks to dethrone you.

3. May we do everything in our power to run from these evil powers. May we run from the sin that so easily entangles us. Lord keep us from harm and give us the strength and wisdom to come together as the Church and fight the spiritual battle you have called us to.

4. Lord you are so BIG, and I am so small. You look down from your throne on high and see those who crave unrighteousness, who live as if there is no God. And yet You, you sit in heaven and look down and laugh. You are all-powerful sovereign God, may we remember that none can usurp your throne. May we remember that you are above all, and we cannot even begin to fathom your power.

5. Your laughter in heaven will only remain for so long. There will come a day when your patience will run out and your wrath will consume those who did not obey you. Lord, help us to remember your wrath, may it cause us to fear and tremble. May we not forget you throughout the day, but remember we have been saved from that terrible wrath which will one day be poured out upon the unrighteous.

6. You do as you please. You place whoever you desire where you require them. You have appointed those whom you desire to overthrow the foolish wisdom of the world.

7. May our lips proclaim your majesty to the world. May our thoughts often drift to you. How blessed we are to be called your sons. To dwell in the family of the Most High God is a privilege we should never take for granted. You have allowed us to be born again. Because of the Sacrifice of Son of God, can we be called sons of God.

8. Lord may we always remember that you desire what is best for us. May we constantly be praising you and thanking you for all you have given to us. We have inherited so many temporary and permanent blessings because of what you have done for us. You own the whole world and desire to give us what is good, may we ask with confidence when we ask of you. May our prayers never sell your power short, or may we never ask selfishly.

9. Lord, you will one day return to destroy your enemies. Those who mock you and despise you, you will show them your power. May we shudder at the thought of your wrath and warn others of its swift destruction.

10. As those who have been given a new life and are saved by the grace of God may we be wise with our actions. May our testimony to the world be pleasing to you. May we constantly be on alert and never be satisfied with our current state, but rather pursue you and take heed of your impending wrath.

11. When we come before you to pray, or worship, or listen to your word may we pay You the respect and honor you deserve. May we never approach You with flippancy or indifference. May our joy be rooted in the fear we have for Your Name. May our worship to you be a sweet fragrance because you see our reverence and fear for Your Name.

12. May our thoughts be constantly focused on Christ. May we always remember the ultimate sacrifice He paid for us and never trample on His precious Name. The world opposes Him and mocks Him by the way we live, may we remember their ultimate destruction and be grateful and know the blessing we have as we can take refuge in the very God of this universe. We can confidently come before you and you will protect us from your wrath, for those who have loved Your Son.
