Pray continually!
Almighty ever-living God,
grant that we may always conform our will to yours
and serve your majesty in sincerity of heart.
I prepare myself for prayer by slowing down, relaxing my body, breathing gently, putting aside worries and concerns for the moment.
I read the psalm slowly a few times. How do I feel?
What is my main response to the psalm?
This is a pilgrim’s prayer, where the pilgrim places their trust in the Lord who made heaven and earth.
In what ways have I felt – or do I feel – God’s protecting presence all around me in the journey of my life?
The psalmist likens God to my unsleeping guardian – protecting me from all evil, day or night.
I ponder this image and speak to God of my gratitude, or maybe place myself more consciously into his care.
As I finish my prayer, I read the psalm again, and maybe take it with me into the rest of my day.
