32. Monday Afternoon Prayer | Psalm 139:17-24

Slow down. Step into the Spirit’s Rhythm.


Morning has passed. The day is winding down. God meets us in our joy and our exhaustion. In our hope and our anxiety. He calls us to finish well and supplies us everything we need by grace. Join your brothers and sisters in Christ in prayer.


Psalm 139:17-24

How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!

    How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them,

    they would outnumber the grains of sand—

    when I awake, I am still with you.

If only you, God, would slay the wicked!

    Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!

They speak of you with evil intent;

    your adversaries misuse your name.

Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,

    and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?

I have nothing but hatred for them;

    I count them my enemies.

Search me, God, and know my heart;

    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me,

    and lead me in the way everlasting.
