Focus
Let your soul take a moment of rest as you hear God’s word. Put your busy schedule, wandering mind, stressful thoughts, and burdened heart at the feet of the cross and open up to God’s voice as the Giver of Life tends your soul.

Psalm 143
Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
answer me in your righteousness.
2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.
Reflect
Hear me O God! Hear my prayer! How many times have you said this exact same thing? I know I have. Times when I have been in distress, when it seemed like my world was falling apart around me. I cried out to the only one who could help me in my time of trouble.
Hear we find David asking for God to listen to his pleas for mercy. Asking God to answer in His faithfulness and righteousness.
Does God always answer in the way we want, no, probably not. Does God always answer in the time frame we would like, no, definitely not here. And yet the answer I receive like it or not has always been the best. The time that I got it was always perfect.
Today, cry out and know that God hears and cares and will answer at the right moment.
Pray
Creator God, God who made us and knows every hair on our head. God who supplies the right answer at the right moment. Hear our cries today. See our tears as they fall. Lord, help us trust to know that Your decisions are always the right ones. In Jesus name, Amen.
Go with God!
