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, thanks for Psalms 73-89 that
show Your enthronement & holiness.
Because You are Almighty & Holy;
We will Turn to You for Deliverance.
We will Run Race together with You.
We will Listen and Follow You. And
We will Praise & Adore You. Amen.
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 and forgive our sins…
Why should the nations say:
Where is their God? (Ps 79:5-10).
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 injustice with
patience and strengthen us O God.
Remember us & we appeal to Your
compassion to vindicate us. Amen.
Lord, we will Run Race Together:
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. Watch over and
care for this vine that You yourself
have planted, this son You have
raised for Yourself (Ps 80:3, 14-15)
Lord, thank You for the churches
in my community. Bless their pastors
and leaders with strength & unity
and help their congregation to grow.
Help us to work together to reach
our community for You. Help me
to be an encouragement to my
brothers and sisters in Christ and
not to forget that we are all running
the race together. Amen and amen.
Lord, we will Listen & Follow You:
You Cried to me in trouble & I Saved
you; I answered out of the thunder-
cloud & Tested your faith when there
was no water at Meribah (Ps 81:7)
Oh, that my people wd Listen to me!
Oh, that Israel would Follow me,
walking in my path… And with
honey from the rock I would have
satisfied you (Psa 81:13-16). Amen.
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.
I know You Lord value discernment
but You value trust even much more.
You urge me in Your word to walk
by faith and not by sight. And so
I purpose to commit to Listen intently
and fill me with Your holy boldness
to act on what I hear from You. Amen.
Lord, we will Praise & Adore You:
Do not keep silent O God!
Do not hold Your peace.
And do not be Still O God! For
behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have
lift up their head (Psa 83:1-2).
Let them be dismayed forever; Yes;
let them be put to shame & perish,
that they may know that You,
whose name alone is the Lord
are the Most Highly Exalted One
over all the earth. (Psa 83:17-18).
Lord, You are great & greatly to
be praised. Great is Your power,
and Your wisdom there is no end.
We who are part of what You
have created, desire to praise You.
For You have stirred our hearts
so that we take pleasure to praise U.
For You have created us for Yourself
and our hearts are restless until
they rest in You. Amen and amen.
