Psalm 79:8-10
Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name’s sake! Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants be known among the nations before our eyes!
Lord, where is the passion, the zeal, the fervor to proclaim the power of Your name? Where does Your Church stand proudly shouting out to the world that we are Your children, empowered to heal and restore the lost and broken to You? How can we expect Your blessings upon us when we refuse in cowardliness to acknowledge our citizenship in Your Kingdom?
