While many of the psalms are individual prayers, Psalm 80 is

As hurricane Harvey rebuilding kicks into high gear, where

organizational prowess, technological know-how, and fierce determination, we
have the potential to do a lot of things. But will we be restoration
communities along the way? Will we just build houses or will we build
transformational relationships? With every task there’s an opportunity to go it
alone or to go it together. Let’s choose the latter and build community.
