Sunday Psalm Call Out To God With A Trusting Heart

Sunday May 20, 2018

I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord! I will obey your decrees. I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws. I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words. I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise. In your faithful love, O Lord, hear my cry; let me be revived by following your regulations. Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions. But you are near, O Lord, and all your commands are true. I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever. (Psalm 119:145-152 NLT)
These verses invite us to call out to God with a trusting heart.  God responds to the prayers of a person who desires to know His way and do His will.  God is faithful and rewards those who believe in Him and call out for help to do the right thing.  In the morning, when we spend time with God, it’s amazing how we become aware of His presence with us and hear His comforting voice guiding us all day long.  A regularly scheduled time with God will improve our conscious contact with Him, and through prayer and meditation, we will gain the knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

Without doubt, the powers of darkness will seek to disrupt our peace with God by bombarding us with obsessive and fearful thoughts.  Their purpose is to destroy us through relapse into our substance of choice or addictive habit, or to simply weigh us down with troubles and fears.  The good news is, when we stand firm under God’s protection, He will keep us safe from all the attacks of the enemy.  God’s word is our most powerful tool.  We need to know it and base all our thinking and behaving on it.  This is how we overcome the temptations and obsessions thrown at us by the devil. 

Prayer: Almighty God, Help me to stand firm on Your word and acknowledge that You alone are mighty to save. When I am afraid, I will trust in You for You are always with me and I will not be shaken, for You are right by my side.  Amen
