Prayer

 “Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and frost, stormy wind fulfilling his command!”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭148‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NRSVUE‬‬


“Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars! Wild animals and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds!”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭148‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NRSVUE‬‬


Sometimes when I am singing and praying, I ask God to add my voice to those of the whole universe that are already praising him. I imagine the elders and living creatures around his throne offering him praises continually, and I want to be part of that holy choir. I wonder about the sounds that the stars make out in space. Is it praise music, like a symphony that only God can hear?
