A song of pilgrimige. 

Of David.

Pray that Jerusalem has peace: 

"Let those who love you have rest.

Let there be peace on your walls; 

let there be rest on your fortifications."

For the sake of my family and friends, I say, "Peace be with you, Jerusalem."

For the sake of the LORD our God's house I will pray for your good.

Psalms 122:6-9 CEB

What name needs to replace Jerusalem in this song of pilgrimige for you?

Is it a place that needs peace? (sadly that may still be Jerusalem 3000 years after this was written).

Perhaps it's a place closer to home.

Maybe it's a person who's name can slot in here as your prayer today.

"Peace be with you ____"

Maybe it's you who needs rest, 

to have peace on your walls,

to stand down your defences where they aren't needed any more.

That last line of compassion and care "I will pray for your good" because you're part of God's Big Story, worthy of belonging and peace, who comes to mind who needs that prayer from you today?

Maybe it's you. 

Peace be with you.

May you be able to stand down the defences just a little.

I will pray for your good.
