O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me...I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High. Psalm 7: 1~17
I put my trust in my God. I have righteousness and integrity. My defense is of God. I am upright in heart. I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness. I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
Scripture shows that God will save me from all who persecute me. God will deliver me. he arises in his anger; the Lord shall judge the peoples. God is righteous God. God tests hearts and minds. God saves the upright in heart. God is a just God. God is angry with the wicked every day.
I need to continue to trust in God. I must sing praises to the name of the Lord Most High. I need to know that He'll save and deliver me from persecutors...that's His promise to me. I have to understand that God tests hearts and minds. I will seek to learn and pass the tests. Finally I must stay away from all forms of evil.
I feel like God is speaking the following to me:
"You can pass your tests with my help. Keep trusting in Me. I'll save You. I'll deliver you. Keep your eyes on Me. I love and enjoy your worship of Me."
Prayer~
My hope and rust is in you dear Lord. you'll deliver and save me from persecutors. Let my mouth sing praises to your name.

God Knows My Problems (Psalms 6)
I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears. The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer.
Psalm 6:1-10
Prayer~
Lord, I praise You. Your name is excellent and most worthy to be praised. I love your presence and I love to spend time with You. Thank you for this time to be together now. Is there anything that is in between us Lord? I am so sorry for my sin. Please forgive me for my sin. My sin of omission (not doing the things I should) and my sin of commission (the things I do wrong). Please speak to me now from Your Word, I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Scripture says there are times in our lives when we are weak. Our bones are troubled. It's another way of saying we may experience great problems. ("My soul is also greatly troubled".) There are times in our lives when grief is too much to bear. It causes us to cry. And cry. And cry. Until we have no energy left to cry. God understands and cares about our tears!!
Scripture also teaches that God does not rebuke us in anger, nor does he chasten us in hot displeasure. His patience with us is amazing. He is longsuffering, slow to anger and rich in love!!! He promises to heal us. He promises to return and deliver us. He promises to save us. I take comfort in knowing that the LOrd hears the cries of my weeping. He also hears all my requests of Him.
When I have troubles, whatever they may be, I can know that God is aware. He sees everything. If I am at work and having difficulties in a particular area, God sees. God knows!! I don't cry and suffer alone, but God is with me. Whatever problems we may have, God knows. God invites us into relationship with Him. He welcomes our prayers about everything. We can tell him about our problems. We can open our hearts to Him. As we pour out our hearts to God, He holds us in His arms. He whispers into our ears, "you are precious to me, daughter." "You are precious to me, son." We don't have to worry about our troubles, for He promises to save and deliver us. In His time. In His way. We let him carry the load of our problems today and every day.
Prayer~
Lord, I pray that You help us live lives that are pleasing to You. Please help us with our problems. We know You love us, and have not forgotten about us. We love You Jesus. Amen.

God Really Pays Attention to Me (Psalm 5)
Prayer~
Oh Lord, I love Your name! Your name is praiseworthy and worthy of praise. Thank you for this time to be together in Your Word. I love to spend time with You. Lord, is there anything that keeps me from you? Please reveal it to me now. Lord, I am sorry for my sin. Please forgive me. Please speak to me now through your word I pray, Amen.
Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my meditation. Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
Psalm 5:1~3
But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.
Psalm 5:7~8
But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them. Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
Psalms 5: 11~12
When I first read this passage in psalms 5, I was impressed to discover that God actually is paying attention to me! Really? Could this be true? The God of the Universe is taking notice of me? I found that to really be amazing, that He is actually attentive to me. He's listening to my words, he considers and thinks about my meditations (or groaning). Also, He defends me. He blesses the righteous and surrounds them with favor. If it's in the Word of God, then, I'm going to choose to believe that it is true. For God is a God who doesn't lie. He's speaking words of truth and words of life to me, even right now. He's speaking words of truth and words of life to you too, dear friend, as you read the Word of God. All truth, and all life, is found in words of Jesus. Our hearts are open to the God of life, love and truth.
Prayer~
Lord, I feel honored that you actually "consider" and think about my meditations!! I am in awe and appreciation that You , Lord of the universe, My God, actually LISTEN to me. Should I not run to You daily and often??? I am also thankful dear Lord, that You are leading me. Make me one who rejoices in You and trusts in You. I want to be joyful in You dear LORD. Thank You for "giving heed" to my cry~You actually pay attention to me, and Lord, I think that is soooo sweet!!! Please help me live a life that is pleasing to You dear Lord. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
