CRY FOR HELP

“May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high! May He send you help from the sanctuary And support you from Zion! May He remember all your meal offerings And find your burnt offering acceptable! Selah. May He grant you your heart’s desire And fulfill all your counsel! We will sing for joy over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. Some boast in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of the Lord, our God. They have bowed down and fallen, But we have risen and stood upright. Save, O Lord; May the King answer us in the day we call.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭20:1-9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

GOOD DAY. I have always prayed this Psalm with an outward focus until very recently when I started appreciating and praying it for my inner world. It is more of my inner world that I need help to silence all distractions against purity of my heart. It is in my heart that I need victory against competing ideas, memories and beliefs that limit my faith in God and in myself. It has opened me up more to God and the Holy Spirit has been my help to discern and dismiss all thoughts that militate against my knowledge of God. 

PRAY: Lord, hear me on the day I cry for help against disturbing thoughts and beliefs in my heart.
