Do not withhold Your mercy from me.
May Your love and truth protect.
For troubles will surround
And my sins blind and infect.
They’re more than the hairs of my head
And my heart fails within me.
Be pleased, O Lord, to save and rescue.
Come quickly to help, I plea.
May all who seek to take my life
Be confused and put to shame,
And may all who desire my ruin
Turn back in disgrace and blame.
May those who say to me, “Aha”
At their own shame be appalled,
But all who seek and rejoice in You
In salvation be enthralled.
Yet I am in want, needy, and poor.
May You, O Lord, think of me.
You are my help, my deliverer.
Do not delay; set me free.
(Based on Psalm 40:11-17)
God’s resources are unending. We can trust His mercy, love, and forgiveness that keep us close to Him. When trials and troubles come, He is there to help. We need God in every situation, every day, whether experiencing blessings or hardships. Sometimes the trials we have are of our own making and sometimes they are from events in which we have no control. We struggle. We endure pain and loss. We are poor and needy, but God is faithful. He hears our prayers, as well as our praises, and gives us strength to overcome. He thinks of us because He loves us.
What do you need today: forgiveness, correction, provision, healing, guidance, blessings? God is there to listen and answer according to His perfect will for you.
