God Cares For His People

Ps 135-139 are about Praising God.
Sometimes it’s easy to praise the
Lord simply by recalling the past
(Ps 135-136); at other times,
past memories produce more
pain rather than praise (Ps 137).
But even times of trouble can be
cause for Praise to God (Ps 138).
This is so as you think about the
infinite knowledge & unceasing
presence of Yr mighty God (Ps 139).

Lord, Praise Your Constant Care:
You discern my going out and
my lying down; You Are Familiar
with all my ways. Before a word
is on my tongue You know it
completely O Lord (Ps 139:3-4).
Where can I free from Yr Presence?
If I go to the heavens, You are there;
If I settle on the far side of the
sea, even there Your hand will
guide and hold me fast (v7-10).
Every day of my life was recorded.
Every moment was Laid Out before
a day had passed. How precious
are Your Thoughts (v16-17) Amen.

Lord, praise You for Knowing me
so well, for You caringly monitor
my movements and my thoughts.
I want to rest Lord in the truth
that I am always on Your mind.
You promise to guide my steps
into places of peace and security.
Thank You Lord for the comfort
of knowing I am so well known by
You and thoroughly cared for. Amen.

Lord, praise You for Your Omni-
presence and good plans for me.
You promise in Your word that I can
never get away from Your presence.
Where You take me, You Lord will guide and Your strength support me.
Guide and support me Lord with
Your strength each day of my life.
For apart from You Lord I can do
nothing worthy and well. Amen.

Lord, You created me for a purpose
& has prepared a Good Plan for me.
For You Charted the path ahead
of me and laid out every moment.
Help me to take comfort knowing
Your constant care & concern of me.
Help me to fully understand and
appreciate the depth of Your love.
Help me not to fear for You Lord
are with me and for me. Amen.

God the Promise Keeper (Jun 10)

Backgrounder on Psalms 146-150:
Like the dramatic crescendo of
a symphony, the book of Psalms
builds to a climax of Praise.
Praise God from one generation
to the next (Ps 146); praise God
for His tender care (Ps 147);
praise God for his creation(Ps148);
praise God for His justice (Ps 149);
praise God for His greatness(Ps150)
Praise the Praiseworthy Lord!

Lord, You Keep Promise Forever:
Don’t put your confidence in
powerful people; there is no help
for you there. When their breathing
stops all their plans come to an
end. But happy are those who have
God as their helper, whose hope is
in the Lord their God (Ps 146:3-5)
He is the one who made heaven
and earth… He is the one who
Keeps every Promise forever (v6)
Praise the Lord!
Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to
His excellent greatness!…
Let everything that has breadth
praise the Lord (Ps 150:1-2, 6).

Lord, forgive me for putting my
confidence in people instead of
in You. You made heaven & earth,
the sea and everything in them.
You are unchanging & all powerful,
You give justice to the oppressed,
and help those who are heavyladen.
You keep all Your promises. I put my hope in You and I praise You, Amen

Lord, I gratefully thank You that
Your promises are eternally rock
solid and that Your nature and
character stand firmly behind them.
Thank You Lord that I can trust
in Your promise of constant
presence caring and protecting us.
And grant me the faith to believe
in Your words and to act on it. Amen.

Dear Lord, thank You for giving us
the book of Psalms that teaches us
how to pray and how to praise You.
And we want to praise You more
for You are completely Great,
for You can & will do mighty acts,
for You are caring & compassionate,
for You are the Promise Keeper
for You are our Best Hope.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

God Brings Us Through Trouble

Backgrounder on Psalms 140-145:
Your enemies will either drive you
from God or drive you to God.
In David’s hour of need he found
a sure Refuge (Ps 140, Ps 142),
a trustworthy Friend (Ps 141),
a listening Ear (Ps 143),
a Strong Arm (Ps 144),
a merciful King (Ps 145);
and You Can Too !! Amen.

Lord, You bring us Thru Trouble:
Bless the Lord, who is my rock.
He Gives Me Strength… He is
my loving ally and my fortress,
my Stronghold, my deliverer.
He stands before me as a Shield,
& I Take Refuge in Him (Ps 144:1-2)
O Lord, what are mortals that You
should notice us, mere mortals
that You should care for us ?
For… our days are like a passing
shadow. Bend down the heavens,
Lord and Come Down (v3-5).
Rescue me and deliver me from…
(those who) speaks lying words…
That our barns may be full,
supplying all kinds of produce…
Happy are the people who are in
such a state; happy are the people
whose God is the Lord (v11-15).

Father God, I am Your child; and
Nothing can separate me from
Your love. You are my loving ally;
and You’re my hero with strong arm.
You are my impregnable fortress
and my unconquerable stronghold
of safety. And You Lord will shield
me when I take refuge in You.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Lord Jesus, we praise You for
Coming to earth so that we who
believe in You may know Your
forgiveness & experience Your love.
You are Emmanuel God with us!
Altho as mere humans our days
are just like a passing shadow,
You Reached Down from high &
brought us out of darkness into
Your marvelous light. Amen.

Lord, my storage places will be
full of provisions; and my produce
increases steadily and continually.
And I am securely under Your
blanket of covering; and so there
can be no breaching of my walls.
My heavenly Father is the Lord
of Hosts; and under His guidance
and protection, I shall surely remain
healthy and happy all my life. Amen.

God Delivers His People (June 7)

the cause of the afflicted,
and justice for the poor.
Surely the righteous shall

I praise You for You are my Saviour.
Thank You for whispering time and
again Your promises of deliverance.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Lord & Strong Deliverer, financial,
emotional and physical attacks
can rob us of joy, hope and peace.
May You be at forefront of my mind
so I know with full assurance You
as my deliverer are stronger than
anything that comes against me.
Give me Lord the peace that comes
with trust; and the grace that comes
with hope. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lord, I praise You that You are
a God I Can Count On to keep me.
Left to myself, I am not strong
enough to walk in Your paths.
Deliver me from choosing
my own way instead of Yours.
Strengthen my heart, and
thank You for working within me
according to Your purposes. Amen

God Promises With His Name !

Backgrounder on Psalms 135-139:
These psalms about praising God.
Sometimes it’s easy to praise
the Lord simply by recalling the
past (Ps 135-136); at other times
memories of the past produce
more pain than praise (Ps 137).
But even times of trouble & tears
can be cause of praise (Ps 138)
as you think about the infinite
knowledge & unceasing presence
of your omnipotent God (Ps 139).

Lord,we receive Yr Caring Promises:
I will give thanks to Your Name for
your unfailing love & faithfulness,
because Your Promises are Backed
by all the honour of Your Name.
In the day when I cried out,
You answered me, and made me
bold with strength (Ps 138:2-3).
Though the Lord is great,
He Cares for the humble…
Though I walk in the midst
of trouble, You will revive me…
And Your right hand will save me.
The Lord will perfect that which
concerns me; Your mercy Lord
endures forever (Psalm 138:6-8).

Father God, thank You for Backing
Your Promises by the honor
of Your Name. It is a mighty,
powerful and trustworthy name!
And I give thanks to You for Your
unfailing love and faithfulness.
Help me Lord to move forward
under Your direction in the light
of Your unfailing and precious
promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, no matter what happened,
You will perfect that which concerns
me and You will not abandon me; for
Your lovingkindness endures forever.
Lord Jesus, I revere Your Name:
You are the Bread of Life.
You are the Light of the World.
You are the Good Shepherd.
You are the Great “I Am.”
And I declare my confidence
in all Your promises that are
fully backed by Your Name! Amen.

Lord Jesus in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live
for You and glorify Your Name.
Your Name
is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name
is a shelter like no other
Your Name,
let the nations sing it louder
‘Cause nothing has the power
to save but Your Name!! Amen.

God Helps & Protects His People

Thank God for Help & Protection:
Psalms 120-127 deal with topics
dear to the heart of travellers
far from home: peace (120, 122);
Protection (121, 125, 127); and
provision (123, 124, 126). As you
read these “hymns of the highway”
imagine yourself on a journey of life
with your destination now in view.

Lord, You Help and Protect us:
I will lift up my eyes to the hills-.                    from whence comes my help?
My Help Comes from the Lord,
who made the heavens and the
earth! He will not let you stumble
and fall; the one who Watches
over U will not slumber (Ps 121:1-3
The Lord himself Watches over you!
The Lord stands besides you as
your protective shade…The Lord
Keeps you from Evil & preserves
your life. The Lord keeps watch
over you as u come & go (v5-8).
Unto You I lift up my eyes,
O You who dwell in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their masters…
so our eyes look to the Lord our God
until He has mercy on us(Ps 123:1-2)

Lord, our Help comes from You,
who made the heavens & earth!
Because You hold me, I will not
stumble and fall. Because You
watch over me, I will not fear
for my security is in You my God.
Thank You for watching over me
and for caring about my situation.
Thank You I am not alone for You
are with me and helping me. Amen

Lord, I pray for protective covering.
And thank You for watching over
and protecting my loved ones!
What peace it gives me to know
that You never slumber or sleep.
And that I can confidently entrust
those I love to Your care & keeping.
Bless and keep my family coming
and going both now & always.Amen

Lord, Your assurance to Your
followers is that as we lift up our
eyes in You, You’ll have mercy on us.
You Lord Will Keep us from evil;
and it has no real power over us.
Lord, I want to live with confidence
that I am secure and safe in You.
Keep me Trusting in You and
not worrying over things. Amen.
