THE YEAR OF 30
Psalm 30: 4, 10-12
Sing praise to the Lord, you His godly ones,
And give thanks to His holy name.
"Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me;
O Lord, be my helper."
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Psalm 100
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
How do we come? We enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.
"Sing Yourself Into His Presence"
With Thanksgiving
With Praise
With Confession
Be using the 30 Prayer Card for a Prayer Guide!
During the next 30 days we are asking you to pray each day for the items on the 30 Prayer Card. We are also encouraging everyone to read a
proverb a day from the book of Proverbs. Below is the prayer card, and you may also get one in the Robing Rooms.
