Be Still & Know that I Am God
The 2nd book of Psalms (42-72),
is similar to Exodus, describing
Israel as ruined and then recovered.
These psalms help us see wonder
in worship, pray for rescue, confess
sin and encourage us to trust God.
And Ps 42-49 are attributed to sons
of Korah, descendants of the man
who died for his rebellion against
Moses. They mostly serve as
singers & musicians in the temple.
Lord, just as You Rescued Israel,
You can also Rescue Your children.
So, we can go to You God with our problems, ask You to help us and
Be Still & know that You are God.
We Embrace Your Presence.
We Trust Your Unfailing Love.
We Seek Your Help & Refuge. Amen.
Lord, we Embrace Your Presence:
As the deer pants for streams of
water, so I long for you, O God.
I thirst for God, the living God…
Why am I discouraged? Why
so sad? I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again – my Savior
and my God! (Psa 42:1-2, 11).
Lord, we praise You for being
Emmanuel. You are God with us as
we walk through this broken world.
Deliver me and bless me O Lord!
And help me be Your hands & feet
to give words of encouragement
to those who need to know ‘where
You are’ in their times of need. Amen
Lord, we Trust Your Unfailing Love:
Wake up Lord! Why do You sleep?
Get up! Don’t reject us forever.
Why do You look the other way?
Why do You ignore our suffering
and oppression? Rise up! Come
and help us! Save us because of
Your Unfailing Love (Ps 44:23-26).
Lord, thank You for Your promised
presence. Although my situation
may seem overwhelming, I call
on You with confidence because
You are all powerful & You love me.
Come and help me! Save me!
Save me because of Your Unfailing
Love and help me experience You
as my sure refuge. I wait expectantly
to see U move in a mighty way. Amen.
Lord, we Seek Your Help & Refuge:
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
So we will not fear, even if
earthquakes come and the
mountains crumble into the sea…
Be Still & know that I am God; I will
be exalted among the nations, I will
be exalted in the earth(Ps46:1-2,10)
Lord, when everything seems
to be falling apart, help me to
experience You as my refuge
and strength, my firm foundation.
You are the mountain mover,
and You can also hold things
steady in your hand. Guide me
and bless me as I entrust my
mountains to You, my solid and
ever faithful God & Father. Amen.
