In the 30 day Psalter, today begins with Psalm 120. I thought the prayer following particularly apt:
O most merciful Father, guard us by Your power that we do not fall into the snares of slanderers and into the toils of those practicing deceit. Preserve us from soul-destroying errors. Give us teachers whose hearts are upright with Your Word, and kindle and increase in us the knowledge of Your saving truth, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Timely. Astonishingly so. It's always a delight when an appointed prayer of the church speaks in manner that is electric with meaning for the moment.
