Trusting in the name of the LORD

A. Let us pray like this each other

1) Intercession (0-2)

0 For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. 

2) What is the Victory for us? (3-5)

3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. <Selah>
4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.

B. Let us follow the Jesus’ thinking

1) What we trust in? (6, 7)

6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. 

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.(Mark 8:34)

2) They and we (8, 9)

8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9 O LORD, save the king! Answer us when we call! 

SUMMARY

Let’s have the habit of intercession. Intercession make the connection between you and someone not only God. Also your intercession will make the connection between God and someone. Intercession will make your connection with God stronger as a result.
