Read Psalm Chapter 143

Key Verses: Psalm 143:6-8…

“Author is David”

Hear my prayer, O Lord;
    listen to my plea!
    Answer me because You are faithful and righteous.
Don’t put Your servant on trial,
    for no one is innocent before You.
My enemy has chased me.
    He has knocked me to the ground
    and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.
I am losing all hope;
    I am paralyzed with fear.
I remember the days of old.
    I ponder all Your great works
    and think about what You have done.
I lift my hands to You in prayer.
    I thirst for You as parched land thirsts for rain.

Come quickly, Lord, and answer me,
    for my depression deepens.
Don’t turn away from me,
    or I will die.
Let me hear of Your unfailing love each morning,
    for I am trusting You.
Show me where to walk,
    for I give myself to You.
Rescue me from my enemies, Lord;
    I run to You to hide me.
10 Teach me to do Your will,
    for You are my God.
May Your gracious Spirit lead me forward
    on a firm footing.
11 For the glory of Your Name, O Lord, preserve my life.
    Because of Your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.
12 In Your unfailing love, silence all my enemies
    and destroy all my foes,
    for I am Your servant.

PRAYER:

***Awesome prayer from David today! Make it your own***

Dear Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my heartfelt plea… (list a few things you need help from the Lord today). Somedays I lose hope, I become depressed, overwhelmed with my circumstances and paralyzed with fear, but today I will lift my hands in prayer to You. When I feel overwhelmed I thirst for Your presence, like a parched desert needs the rain, I need Your presence and Your answer to my cries. Each morning let me hear of Your unfailing love for me. Lord, God I trust in You! Teach me to do Your will, show me where to walk. As I glorify Your Name Lord, I give myself to You. Amen.
