Psalm 25

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”

Urgent Prayer Request

I just found out that one of my dearest friends has spent all day in the hospital with her babygirl. Her baby is less than two months old, and has a respiratory virus, and pneumonia. Pray for this dear friend. On top of being a young mom with an infant, her husband left two weeks ago for Iraq, and will be there for a year to fifteen months. I have already been upholding this dear girl in prayer, but now I am asking all of you to cry out to God. This precious baby needs to get better, and this dear friend needs strength, courage, and peace. Please pray for Amber, Allison (the baby), and Chris. As their family is separated and going through this trial they need our prayers and support. “Dear Lord I ask you to please give Amber your peace and hope. Touch little Alli with your healing. Help the doctors to be filled with wisdom. Please just wrap your arms around this precious family, and make your love and care known to them in this time. Thank you father that you never leave us or forsake us.” Please join with me in praying for these dear ones.

1 John 5:14-16 ” And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
