A Prayer for Community on Psalm 84




This prayer comes from the group study section of the book Desiring God, by John Piper:


Lord of Hosts,



Your Dwelling places are altogether lovely.



May it be that as people read and study and discuss Your Word



together that they might long and yearn to be in Your courts



where they might see and savor You.




Cause the hearts, even the bodies, of Your people to be filled



with rejoicing in You, the living God.









Even the birds of the air rest in Your presence and find comfort and



security and joy in Your altars, O Lord of Hosts, our King and our God.



So too are all who dwell in Your house;



their joy is as unceasing as their praise.
