Trust God for Deliverance (Jun 17)
Backgrounder on Psalms 13-18: In sharp contrast to the fate of the fool who denies God’s existence(14) many blessings accrue to those who serve God wholeheartedly: joy (Ps13), fellowship with God (15) satisfaction (16), preservation (17) & confidence in facing future (Ps18) Psalm 18 was written by David on the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of his enemies.
Lord, we place our Trust In You: I will love You O Lord my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Deliverer; My God my strength In Who I Will Trust. My shield and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; for He saves me from my enemies (Ps 18:1-3) In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice (Ps 18:6). You armed me with strength for battle; You made my adversaries bow at my feet (Psalm 18:39). Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted (v46).
Lord, be my rock and source
of security when I am beset by
difficulties in an uncertain world.
In You I find protection; and You are my stronghold & I need nothing else.
Be my strength when I am weak.
Be my shield of protection from
those who seek to harm me.
Be the strength of my salvation
when I call upon You; and I will ever
praise You for You are worthy. Amen.
Lord, reassuring that You are a God that hears and answers prayers. Thank You that You act on behalf of those who seek You for help. Be my strength when I am weak & make me steady when I am unsure. And I bless You and praise You at all times for You are faithful and a very present help in time of need. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, I am grateful that You have armed me with the strength I need for the battle ahead. Help me to withstand and prevail my enemies. Teach me to persevere in prayer and not let down Nor give up. Enable me to pray through each situation until I see breakthrough. Thank You that You are always with me and working things out in my favour. In Jesus name, Amen.
