Trust and Praise

God, people have attacked me, so be merciful to me.
    They have been chasing me all day, closing in to attack me.
² My enemies come at me constantly.
    There are too many fighters to count.
³ When I am afraid,
    I put my trust in you.
⁴ I trust God, so I am not afraid of what people can do to me!
    I praise God for his promise to me.
⁵ My enemies are always twisting my words.
    They are always making plans against me.
⁶ They hide together and watch every move I make,
    hoping for some way to kill me.
⁷ God, send them away because of the bad things they did.
    Show your anger and defeat those people.
⁸ You know I am very upset.
    You know how much I have cried.
    Surely you have kept an account of all my tears.
⁹ I know that when l call for help, my enemies will turn and run.

    I know that because God is with me!

¹⁰ I praise God for his promise.

    I praise the Lord for his promise to me.

¹¹ I trust God, so I am not afraid

    of what people can do to me!
¹² God, I will keep the special promises I made to you.

    I will give you my thank offering.

¹³ You saved me from death.

    You kept me from being defeated.

So I will serve you in the light

    that only the living can see.

Psalm 56 ERV

The psalmist said he would trust and praise God no matter what his enemies, thought, plotted or did to him. God knows how hurt we are sometimes. He knows the tears we cry. But guess what? God is with us! Praise Him for His promises!

Pray with me please.

Father God,
We are so thankful for the new life that You have given us in Christ. We are clothed in His righteousness. We are able (by the power of Christ) to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the desires of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). Our names are written down in Heaven (Hebrews 12:23). You know us by name. You have called us. We are Yours. We have nothing to fear. You are with us. So, no matter who attacks us we are safe in Your arms. You will protect us. We praise You for Your goodness and love. We can walk in Your Light. Oh, how we praise You. You are awesome. Praise Your holy name forever! Glory be to our King who was and is and will be forevermore the Lord God Almighty. Let everything that has breath praise You, Lord. Praying always and only in Your blessed name Jesus Amen.
