Hey everyone, this is Mary DeMuth and this is Pray Every Day, where I joyfully pray you through the Bible verse by verse, such a privilege today.

And today is my husband's birthday. So happy birthday to Patrick.

Super thankful and grateful for him. As I mentioned earlier in the month, we've been married 35 years, which is a good amount of time.

And we've walked through a lot of things and planted a church together, at least tried to a couple times, and been in ministry together.

And I walked him through seminary for four years.

That was fun.

And raised three amazing kids.

And I just hope that he has an amazing birthday, and he feels

all of our love for him. He's a man of God. He loves the Lord. He loves to study the Word of God,

and I learned from him quite a bit. In fact, you will hear some echoes of his theological underpinnings in my prayers

throughout all of these pray every days. Today is episode number 2,958, so I've been doing this

a while. And today I am reading from Psalm 21 in the World English Bible and this is what it says.

For the chief musician, a Psalm by David.

The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh, how greatly he rejoices in your salvation.

You have given him his heart's desire and have not

withheld the request of his lips. For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown

of fine gold on his head. He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

For you make him most blessed forever, you make him glad with joy in your presence.

For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the

Most High he shall not be moved. Your hand will find out all your enemies, your

right hand will find out those who hate you. You will make them as a fiery furnace
