Prayer Thot for the Day (Jan 17)

God Hears & Delivers You

Backgrounder on Psa 31-36:
A proper perspective can help
you face any circumstance and
can bring you from gloom to
glory (P31), from failure to
forgiveness (P32), from false
security to confident trust (P33),
from affliction to adoration (P34),
from persecution to praise (P35)
and from darkness to light (P36).

Lord, U Deliver When We Pray:
Lord, we will Seek You for Help:
I sought the Lord & he heard me
& delivered me from all my fears.
They look to Him and were
radiant, and their faces were not
ashamed…The angels of the Lord
encamps all around those who
fear Him, and delivers them.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord
is good, blessed is the man
who trusts in Him (Psa 34:4-8).

Lord, we give you all our fears
and anxieties over finances,
work, health or relationships; and
look to you for help. Do a deep
work in my heart on those things
that strike fear in me. I lay these
burdens and worries before you
and ask you to exchange my
fear for faith. Thank you for
your promise to answer me
when I call on you, to free me
from fear and shame and to
make me radiant with joy. And
Help me to look to you, to fear
you and to trust in You. Amen

Lord, U Deliver the Brokenhearted:
The righteous cry out, and the
Lord hears them; He delivers
them from all their troubles.
The Lord is near to those who
have a Broken Heart & saves such
as have a contrite spirit. The
righteous person may have many
troubles, but the Lord delivers
from them all (Psa 34:17-19).

Lord, there is Joy, Not Shame,
for the troubled soul who looks
to you in faith. When I am in trouble
keep me from the temptation
to take matters into my own hands.
Rather than devising some kind
of human scheme to avoid trouble,
give me the courage to really trust
in you. And when I fail, keep me
from burying myself in shame.
Prompt me to turn back to You
so that I might know your
forgiveness and peace. Amen.
