Victory and Peace

Happy birthday to my oldest daughter! She is a wonderful woman who believes in the power of prayer. Psalm 144 is our strength and prayer for victory and peace. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my arms for battle, who prepares my hands for war. He is my love, my fortress; he is my stronghold, my savior, my shield, my place of refuge. He brings peoples under my rule.

Reach down from heaven and save me; draw me out from the mighty waters, from the hands of alien foes whose mouths are filled with lies, whose hands are raised in perjury. To you, O God, will I sing a new song; I will play on the ten-stringed harp to you who give kings their victory, who set David your servant free.
