Psalm 8: 1-9

1  LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.

2  Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

3  When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4  what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? 

5  You have made them a little lower than the angels     and crowned them   with glory and honor.

6  You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:

7  all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,

8  the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9  LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Prayer

Praise to the creator of all things in the universe, our Lord and Heavenly Father. Thank you that humanity is the pinnacle of Your creation. You created man in Your image and likeness and you gave man and no other creations spirit, soul, and body. To You, we are the pearl in your palm, and the apple of your eye. Compare with your great creations, we ponder why do you care about us humans? You reached down from heaven and lifted us from the sand dune of the pandemic, letting us rest in your peaceful arms.

Lord Jesus, You were truly God and fully human. To show the great love that Heavenly Father has for us, of your own free will you gave up all you had, and took the nature of a servant. You became like a human being and appeared in human likeness. You were humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death--your death on the cross. So, at the name of Jesus, all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. We want to separate ourselves from our desires, to submit our will to yours, pick up our own cross and walk in Your footprint.

Mighty and powerful Holy Spirit, stir our hearts that we no longer contemplate on the brief and emptiness of life, no longer underrate ourselves, no longer allow incessant indulgence of our minds or emotions, and no longer feeling sorry for ourselves. Inspire us to take up the full armor of God, so that we will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Lead us to trust you wholeheartedly, to watch and pray tirelessly, and to proclaim the beauty of the Lord’s name. Hallelujah! May all glory be attributed to our Father in heaven.

In Jesus Christ’ name we pray. Amen
