Father God,

Today, I pray that You would open the gates of heaven and rain down blessing upon those who have been waiting on You, those who have been praying without ceasing, those whose hearts are pure by Your Spirit at work in them, those who have been seeking and knocking, those who have been crying out night and day.

We call upon You by the Name of Christ, by the work of Christ in us, by the blood of the Lamb covering us.

Though we walk through the shadows of Psalm 88, we strive into Psalm 89 proclaiming the glories and promises of a God who delivers, a God who saves, a faithful God, a merciful God, a God who answers prayers.

Hear our cry and let our waiting come to an end.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
