Please turn in your Bibles to Psalm 145. I'll read verses 1 through 13. I will extol thee, my God,

O King, and I will bless thy name forever and ever. Every day I will bless thee, and I will

praise thy name forever and ever. Great is the Lord and highly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty axe

on the glorious splendour of thy majesty

and on thy wonderful works I will meditate.

And man shall speak of the power of the works, I will meditate.

And man shall speak of the power of thine awesome acts,

and I will tell of thy greatness.

They shall eagerly utter the memory of thine abundant goodness,

and shall shout joyfully of thy righteousness.

The Lord is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and great in loving kindness.

The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works.

All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O Lord, and thy godly ones shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom and talk of thy power to make known to the sons of men thy mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of thy kingdom.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures through all generations.

Everlasting God and ruler of all things.

We need mercy now to finish this service faithfully.

And so I ask for another season of mercy. Give us breath, give us life,

give us faith, give us a revelation of your glory through your word, give us strength, provide

healing for any who are ailing in the room, I pray.

Men relationships where they are so stressful, it's hard to sit beside each other.
