Trusting God In Psa 79-81 (May 18)

God Will Come & Save You

The psalms of Asaph (Ps 73-83)

conclude with six testimonies to

the greatness and faithfulness of

the God of Israel. He has kept His

promises in the past (Ps 78) which

is a comforting reminder in the face

of an uncertain future (Ps 79-80).

God is there (Ps 81) & is not silent

(Ps 82-83) when it comes to cries

of help and overthrowing enemies.

Lord, we will Wait for Your Help:

How long Lord? Will You be angry

forever? Let Your compassion

quickly meet our needs, for

we are on the brink of despair.

Help us O God of our salvation!

Help us for the glory of Your name.

Save us…Why shld the nations say:

Where is their God? (Ps 79:5-10).

Restore us O God; cause Your face

to shine, and we shall be Saved…

Come back, we beg You O God

Almighty. Look down from heaven

and see our plight… Care for this

vine that You have planted, this son

You have raised (Ps 80:3, 14-15).

You Cried to me… and I Saved you…

Oh, that my people wd Listen to me!

Oh, that Israel would Follow me,

walking in my path… And I would

have satisfied you (Ps 81:7, 13-16).

Lord, we realise that You don’t
always shield Your people from
attacks of this world; for You often
have a higher purpose in mind.
Help us to endure adversity with
patience and strengthen us O God.
Remember us & we appeal to Your
compassion to meet our needs;
for we are at the brink of despair,
for the glory of Your name, Amen.

Lord, thank You for the churches
in my community. Bless the pastors
and leaders with strength and unity,
and help their congregation to grow.
Help us to work together to reach
our community for You. Help me
Lord to be an encouragement to 
brothers and sisters in Christ and
not to forget that we are all running
the race together. In Jesus’ name.

Lord, help us not only wanting to
hear from You but to Listen to You.
Help us not to be skeptical and
passive hearers but willing listeners.
You Lord value discernment but 
You value trust even much more.
For You urge us in Your word
to walk by faith and not by sight.
So, fill us Lord with boldness to act on what we hear from You. Amen.
