“Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord? Arise! Do not cast us off forever. Why do You hide Your face, And forget our affliction and our oppression? For our soul is bowed down to the dust; Our body clings to the ground. Arise for our help, And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.”
Psalms 44:23-26 NKJV
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Psalms 46:10 NKJV
Dear Lord,
Praise and honor and glory be Yours forever and ever. Thank You for friends, for family, for everything You have given me. I am blessed, very much so, Lord. And I thank You for that.
Lord, be with me as I start this new week. Lord, help me to make money. I do not want to be chained by this anymore. So, as You have commanded, I will do whatever I can to break free from these. But be with me. Be Mighty to save. Be the God who provides, who makes me not want, who loves me. My soul is in turmoil within me. Quiet my fears, O Lord. You are the God of encounters. Grant me the opportunity to get out of this pit I have dug myself in. For Your mercies' sake and for the sake of my family and Your love for me, save me, o my God. Be still, You have said. And know that You are God. Therefore, I will wait in awe of You. I will wait in hopeful anticipation of Your wonders and Your miracles.
Open my eyes, Lord, to what I'm supposed to do, to where I'm supposed to go. But please, help me, Lord. Show me what to do.
Amen.
