Psalm 28

Read Psalm 28

My Plea for Mercy

Oh, Father of Mercy and Grace, let Your righteousness and judgment always come at the right time. Give us the strength and courage to endure until Your return. When You do so, you’ll judge and condemn those who have continually done evil, claiming that there is ‘no God’ and lying to those who want to do good. Killing all hope for orphans, widows, the poor, families, and working people. They are known for their fruit of evil, hatred, deception, greed, and sexual immorality. Oh God, I plea for Your Divine intervention!

Do Not me Off with the Wicked

Jesus, hold me fast in Your word and true and righteous teachings. Forgive me when I fear the future for our children, elders, and ourselves. There is no peace or rest in this land, for judgment is upon it, for the churches and your saints have forsaken Your ways, embracing the things of the world. Only in Your can I build my strength; through prayer and crying for help, can I continue stepping forward. Forgive me as I struggled to keep my joy focused on the above things. Let my freedom be in You and not seek it from this passing world. Let my refuge find in Your arms.

Hear my Voice!

I seek refuge in You, O Jesus, my Comforter. Steady my faltering steps that I may trust and abide in You even more. Let my heart exult in praises and thanksgiving for how great You are. Oh, Jesus, my Savior, Refuge, Rock, Fortress, and Good Shepherd; you who see all things. Hear my prayers, and don’t forget your humble servant. Let my trials bring suffering, then perseverance, building character, and hope.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices,and I give thanks to Him with my song.
