God's people can always find encouragement and comfort in the shadow of His wings. Those who trust in God have a great assurance that He will vindicate us in front of all who have purposed evil against us. Unlike the writer of this psalm, we are not under the Law. During this Church dispensation, we do not have to go to a particular place to meet the Lord. We do not have to go to the tent of meeting or the tabernacle of the Lord to worship our God. Our access to God is not limited to a time or feast day or participation in a religious ritual. As members of Christ's Body, we have the Spirit of peace and joy and can enter boldly into the room of grace, for mercy to find help in times of need. We need to realize that the antidote to despair and distress is Hope In The Lord, and we need to apply it to our life on a day-to-day basis. We need to know and appropriate all the precious promises that are ours in Christ, when we delight ourselves in the Lord and offer Him our sacrifice of praise, we reignite our trust in Him and as our faith increases so fear and depression will be forced to flee away. Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, there is much in this fallen world that can drag us into depression and distress of souls, but our hope is in You, You are the Anchor of our souls and the Rock of our salvation. When our souls are inclined towards despair or when fear begins to creep into our hearts, we pray that we would hope in God, fix our minds on Jesus, trust You with all our hearts, and present our lives to you as sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving. Thank You that You are our God, the Lover of our souls, the Light of the world, and the joy of all the ends of the earth. Our hope is in You and we praise Your name forever and ever, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
