Heavenly Father, thank You for this reminder of the joy and beauty of Zion, the Holy City of Jerusalem which is called by Your name. And thank for Your amazing plan of redemption that You have shown us through people like Melchisedek, Abraham, and David. Thank You that Jesus is the Living Water of life, that all our springs of joy are in Him, and for the gift of salvation and promise of eternal life through Him. Help me to live in a manner that reflects Your love and peace. I ask that You make me a vessel of Your grace and love, and that I may share the gospel of grace with those who are in need of Your forgiveness and hope. May Your presence fill my heart with joy and praise, and may all my springs of joy be in You. I ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
