We Trust God Is On Our Side
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) Through it all David knows there is reward for the righteous and God judgeth in the earth (P58:11).
Lord, we’ll Trust In You & Not Fear: Whenever I am afraid, I’ll trust in U. In God (I will praise His Word) In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?.. When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know because God is For me. In God (I will praise His Word), In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? (Psalm 56:3-4 & 9-11). 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, you have said that when I’m afraid, I can put my Trust in You. Thank You for Your word that promises Your presence with me as well as protection and provision. You are my Hiding Place, so please hold my hand in difficult circumstances. Help me to Trust In You & to walk close to You. Amen
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.
