My Prayer

My Prayer …….Thank you God!

 I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The Lord hears his people when they call him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned!


O Lord, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me. Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me. Turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me. Don’t let my enemies laugh about me in my troubles. Great is the Lord, who delights in blessing his servant with peace! The wicked borrow and never repay but the godly are generous givers. The Lord directs the steps of the godly. The godly always give generous loans to others and their children are a blessing. The godly offer good counsel, they teach right from wrong. I place my hope in the Lord. I will see the wicked destroyed. The Lord rescues the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble.


I am bent over and racked with pain. All evening long I walk around filled with grief. My health is broken. I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart. I am waiting on you, Lord! You must answer for me, O Lord my God. I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain. But I confess my sins, I am deeply sorry for what I have done. My enemies repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good. Help me Lord!


I have trusted you with all my heart. I believed that God would make a way. I did not lean on my own understanding. I believed that I would receive exactly what I prayed for. I did everything  I knew to do and I have trusted you!  Yet the enemy still attacks me. Listen to me, my God! Do not ignore my cry for help! Please listen and answer me. Everything is falling apart! It is not an enemy, it is not the enemy, it is the man I love! He was my equal, my companion, my close friend. I trusted him! What a good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together, prayed together! I cry out in distress and Lord you hear my voice! As for my companion, he betrayed me! He broke his promises. His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. I am trusting you God to save me! I am believing in you God that you are in control! Oh Lord, if I had wings like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest!


In the name of Jesus, hear my cry Lord! In the name of Jesus
