Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you. Psalms 33:22
What a beautiful prayer! Notice first that this is a prayer made with others and for others. We could imagine that a prayer like this was possibly offered in the upper room as they prayed and waited for the promise of the Father (Acts 1:4-5,14). There is a collective longing in these words. There is a deep sense of inadequacy that only God can satisfy. Faith reaching upward and the love of God poured out upon his people through the Holy Spirit (Rom 5:5).
