Psalm 122
Verses 1-2-We made it! There is joy, laughter, delight found in these verses.
Verses 3-5-Jerusalem is wonderful because God dwelt there
Verses 6-9-Jerusalem needs our prayers
Is this how we are on Sunday? I want to go to church. It is a great place to be because God is present. Let us continue to pray that God will actively be at work here.
Is it also a command we take literally, to pray that God’s peace will abide in Jerusalem? Where do you stand on this matter?

I think it is important to continually be in prayer for all nations and all countries, specifically in this Psalm, God calls us to pray for Jerusalem. It is important for us to be eager to feel God’s peace and presence wherever we go.
We need to pray for Jerusalem. Lay your eyes upon it now, the city is divided, the focal point is the temple of a god whom we have not known. It is divided and it is claimed by three of the five major religions on the face of the planet, all while under the threat of anhaliation. Zion needs our prayers.
