Psalm 28
1 To you, Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
It's wonderful to see how the Bible gives voice to the voiceless. Honestly at the moment I haven't been able to put into words an update for you guys. But the 1st 2 verses of this Psalm some up my state of mind. The fact that no matter where you are, no matter what is happening God is your rock. And in fact if that isn't the case we all might as well go down to the pit. I take wonderful comfort from this verse in my present situation. That through my abiding in Christ Jesus I have access to the rock, I know this rock will not remain silent. Seeing the mercy at the cross and through the resurrection I am now in the most holy place I could ever be, in Christ. It doesn't mean that my circumstances are great but it means I have a licence to cry out, cry out for mercy and call to my father for help. So I thought I would just include my prayer for today as an update.
Dear God, only you
Psalm 28 verses 1 to my father, I need help. I cannot move the needle to get sufficient work to provide for my family. Lord God, please give me what I need , please be my refuge be my strength. I don't feel like I can carry on and I am so mentally exhausted and emotionally drained. So lacking in confidence. But you, you can be my confidence. You give me hope in the Gospel. You give me a deep understanding of what it means to love you, to know you. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your Father thank you that in him I have a refuge so that I can be reminded that I can trust in Him. Lord God, you know what we need, you know that we need everything. We need everything Lord, we are so needy. Please increase my dependence on you helped me to from this day From this moment to just keep remembering. Keep me understanding why It is that you are to me a refuge. And that because of Jesus , I can come without fear into your presence, that he is the perfect advocate. That I can ask you, as a child askes his father, please, Lord, help give us what we need. Help us to understand who you are and what you're capable of...
Amen
