God Has A Plan For You
Backgrounder on Psalms 55-59:
These five psalms 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)
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
and vindicate me… My Heart Is
Confident In You, O God; my heart
is confident. No wonder I can sing
your praises (Psa 57:1-2 & 7-8).
Lord, in the midst of tough times,
it’s 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. Amen.
Lord, help us learn from the
psalmist to Focus On You
in the midst of his difficulties.
For it’s when our heart has
a firm foundation 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
