JUNE 13
I know the plans I have in mind for you, declares the Lord; they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope.[Jeremiah 29:11]
Read Psalm 29Psalm 29:(0) A psalm of David:

(1) Give Adonai his due, you who are godly;

give Adonai his due of glory and strength;

2 give Adonai the glory due his name;

worship Adonai in holy splendor.

3 The voice of Adonai is over the waters;

the God of glory thunders,

Adonai over rushing waters,

4 the voice of Adonai in power,

the voice of Adonai in splendor.

5 The voice of Adonai cracks the cedars;

Adonai splinters the cedars of the L’vanon

6 and makes the L’vanon skip like a calf,

Siryon like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of Adonai flashes fiery flames;

8 the voice of Adonai rocks the desert,

Adonai convulses the Kadesh Desert.

9 The voice of Adonai causes deer to give birth

and strips the forests bare —

while in his temple, all cry, “Glory!”

10 Adonai sits enthroned above the flood!

Adonai sits enthroned as king forever!

11 May Adonai give strength to his people!

May Adonai bless his people with shalom!

Prayer: Gracious, merciful, and loving God, whose voice calls to us from over the waters like thunder, may we be ever mindful and attentive to your call so we might know what it is you would have us to do. Be with us as we faithful accept our calling without hesitation or fear, and enter into it with persistence, trust, and strength. Amen.
