PRAYING SCRIPTURE
Psalm 122:1–9
David proclaimed the joy of seeing God’s people gathered at the house of the Lord and in the city of Jerusalem. He also prayed for the peace and prosperity of the city (v. 7). As you pray Psalm 122, remember the unity (Ps 133:1; Eph 4:3) shared by believers from all times and places. We find joy in being together in the house of the Lord (vv. 1, 4). Consider Paul’s description of Jerusalem above (Gal 4:26). Today, many of our sisters and brothers are suffering without the peace (v. 122:8) that will one day be ours in the heavenly city. Pray for sisters and brothers in need of Christ’s peace.

About this Plan
Pray through the fifteen Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120-134) in this 15-day reading plan and experience a deeper connection to God through His Word. Historically, the Psalms of Ascent were songs worshipers sang as they traveled to the temple or national festivals. Excerpts are from The Abide Bible, which provides various Scripture engagement tools--including praying, journaling, contemplating, and more--to help you meet God in God's Word so He can transform your life.
