Read Psalm Chapter 56
Key Verses: Psalm 56:8 and 10-11…
1 O God, have mercy on me,
for people are hounding me.
My foes attack me all day long.
2 I am constantly hounded by those who slander me,
and many are boldly attacking me.
3 But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in You.
4 I praise God for what He has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?
5 They are always twisting what I say;
they spend their days plotting to harm me.
6 They come together to spy on me—
watching my every step, eager to kill me.
7 Don’t let them get away with their wickedness;
in your anger, O God, bring them down.
8 You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in Your bottle.
You have recorded each one in Your book.
9 My enemies will retreat when I call to You for help.
This I know: God is on my side!
10 I praise God for what He has promised;
yes, I praise the Lord for what He has promised.
11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?
12 I will fulfill my vows to you, O God,
and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for Your help.
13 For You have rescued me from death;
You have kept my feet from slipping.
So now I can walk in Your presence, O God,
in Your life-giving light.
PRAYER:
Lord, when my troubles, stress, pain and worries crush me on every side, my heart cries out, my eyes are flowing with tears. Help me Father, have mercy on me Lord. I want to walk in Your presence Lord, I want to be filled with Your life-giving light. I am at peace knowing You keep track of my sorrows, You know what I am going through. Each of my tears are accounted for, my heart longs for Your presence. Your promises are what brings praise to my lips. I trust in You Lord, with You by my side I am not afraid. Amen.
