Thanksgiving in Psalm 57 (Feb 7)

Thank God for Having Plan For Me

Psalms 55-59 capture the
emotions of King David during
some of his most difficult days.
Notice David’s frank petitions and
confident trust in God in the wake
of being betrayed (P55), broken-
hearted (P56) & pursued (P57,59)
Through it all David knows there
is a reward for the righteous and
God judgeth in the earth (P58:11).

Lord, You Have A Plan for us:
My soul trusts in You; and in the
shadow of Your wings I will make
my refuge, until these calamities
have passed by. I Cry Out to
God Most High, who will Fulfil
His Purpose for me (Psa 57:1-2).
My Heart Is Confident In You,
O God; my heart is confident.
No wonder I can sing your praises
(v7-8). In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, help us learn from David
the psalmist to Focus On You
in the midst of his difficulties.
For it is when our heart has
a firm foundation in You that our
faith will have a resting place.
Help us to have our thoughts
rooted in You Lord that we will
experience peace, even joy, in
the midst of life’s difficulties. Amen

Lord, in the midst of tough times,
it is hard to remember that You
are In Control. You sit enthroned
above the heavens and will
Fulfil Your Purpose in my life.
Instead of complaining & doubting,
I will wait patiently for Your
goodness and Trust confidently
in Your infinite power. Amen.

Lord, in my distress, I still choose
to Trust and have hope in the
fulfilment of Your purposes for
my life. Cause me not to hide
my troubled heart from You,
but to Cry Out to You. For You
are able to turn any trouble I face
into a fulfilment of my destiny.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
