"and the cry of my heart is to bring You praise"

Psalm 143

1
HEAR MY prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, and in Your righteousness.

2And enter not into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight no man living is [in himself] righteous or justified.A)" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">(A)

3For the enemy has pursued and persecuted my soul, he has crushed my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in dark places as those who have been long dead.

4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed and faints within me [wrapped in gloom]; my heart within my bosom grows numb.

5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I ponder the work of Your hands.

6I spread forth my hands to You; my soul thirsts after You like a thirsty land [for water]. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

7Answer me speedily, O Lord, for my spirit fails; hide not Your face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit (the grave).

8Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for on You do I lean and in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to You.

9Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I flee to You to hide me.

10Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; let Your good Spirit lead me into a level country and into the land of uprightness.

11Save my life, O Lord, for Your name's sake; in Your righteousness, bring my life out of trouble and free me from distress.

12And in your mercy and loving-kindness, cut off my enemies and destroy all those who afflict my inner self, for I am Your servant.



God gave me this tonight, to comfort me, and to remind me that i CAN rely on Him, though my family and friends and people i care about and care about me will fail, HE WILL NOT FAIL. He can't even THINK of failing!! how incredible is that??

i'm thankful that i have friends who when i speak of worries or fears, they simply, but sternly tell me "go get into the Word. spend time with God"

and i am SOO glad that i have those kinds of people in my life.

i love my new family
