Bible Reading: 2080909

Psalm 59-66

“For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold…But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense.” Psalm 59:3-4, 8-9

Lord, I feel as David did, that I have been judged falsely and accused unjustly. Lord, though I know that there is always more that I could do to improve my abilities and to further production, I have been singled out and made to feel as I am the sole reason for these problems. Lord, help me to trust in Thee and be my defense. Lord, make these who cast stones in my direction to know that my God is the maker and giver of their prosperity. Lord, have them in derision and make my way prosperous so that they who accuse me would be put to shame.

“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.”

Lord, I need Thy help today. Lord, I desperately need to have the right attitude and heart today. I feel persecuted unjustly and my flesh desires to fight back. But Thou O’ Lord are my only help. I need the strength of Thy right hand to uphold me and to fight against my enemies. Lord, help me to be valiant in my efforts and make the work of my hands to prosper, for without Thy help it is all in vain. There is nothing that I can do but trust in Thee. Lord, forgive my faults and cleans me from sin. As David asked in Psalm 51, renew a right spirit within me and create in me a clean heart O’ God. Forgive me my trespasses and help me to know Thy word. Give me victory and help me to stand in hope of Thee.
