Read Psalm Chapter 41
Key Verses: Psalm 41:11-13…
1 Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor!
The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble.
2 The Lord protects them
and keeps them alive.
He gives them prosperity in the land
and rescues them from their enemies.
3 The Lord nurses them when they are sick
and restores them to health.
4 “O Lord,” I prayed, “have mercy on me.
Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5 But my enemies say nothing but evil about me.
“How soon will he die and be forgotten?” they ask.
6 They visit me as if they were my friends,
but all the while they gather gossip,
and when they leave, they spread it everywhere.
7 All who hate me whisper about me,
imagining the worst.
8 “He has some fatal disease,” they say.
“He will never get out of that bed!”
9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely,
the one who shared my food, has turned against me.
10 Lord, have mercy on me.
Make me well again, so I can pay them back!
11 I know You are pleased with me,
for You have not let my enemies triumph over me.
12 You have preserved my life because I am innocent;
You have brought me into Your presence forever.
13 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,
who lives from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and amen!
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, even when I feel the crush of the enemy all around me, I know You are pleased with me. Keep me from evil, help me rise up and be restored by Your Name. Lord I want to be blameless and innocent in Your sight, thank You for preserving my life so I can continue to fulfill the purpose You have given to me. I will always Praise Your Name O, Lord! Amen.
