Episode 153: Psalm 142-143

Today's meditation is on Psalm 142 and 143.

Lord, I come boldly before you with my requests. You are merciful. I know I can spill out my heart and tell you about my troubles. When I was desperate, overwhelmed and about to give up, you were the only one there to help. You gave me a way of escape. You alone know the path I should take. 

You care for me. You are my hiding place, my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. You are my hope and my salvation. You rescue me from my persecutors. You have set me free and placed me in the middle of your chosen ones. I am surrounded by the godly. You are so good to me. 

You hear my prayers, Lord; and you listen to my pleas. You answer me because you are faithful to your promises. You do not put me on trial, because you have redeemed me and blotted out my transgressions. You have made me righteous in Christ Jesus.

Even though the enemy tries to force me to live in the shadows of darkness, I do not lose hope and I do not fear. I remember your faithfulness. I ponder all your great works - the glorious miracles of days gone by. I often think of all the wonders you have done.

I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for more of you as parched land thirsts for rain. 

You are always close to me, listening and answering my fervent prayers. You never turn away from me. 

Let the dawning day bring me revelation of your tender, unfailing love. Give me light for my path and show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. I trust in you alone. You rescue me from the enemy, Lord, because I hide myself in you.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your gracious Spirit is all I need so lead me on good paths that are pleasing to you. You are my one and only God. For the glory of your name, Lord, you preserve my life. You are true to your promises. In your unfailing love, you silence the enemy. Before the foundations of the world, you chose me and I am yours. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
