A Prayer for Help
By: Robert A Searles
"Unto
thee will I cry ,O Lord my rock; be not silent to me, if thou be silent
to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of
my supplication, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward
thy holy oracle. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers
of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in
their hearts Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands;
render to them their desert. Because they regard not the works of the
Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them and not
build them up,Blessed be the Lord , because he hath heard the voice of
my supplication. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart
trusted in him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him. The Lord is their strength, and he
is the saving strength of his anointed. Save thy people, and bless
thine inheritance; feed them also, and lift them up forever." Psalm 28:
1-9.
God
is my rock, and I must hear from him the first thing every morning lest
I become like them that wander thru the day in darkness and stumble
and fall into the pit of sin.
When
we cry out to God in the sincerity of our heart, God hears our
supplication. He shines light on our way, and shows us the way we are
to travel thru the day. When our hearts are made clean and our minds
are stayed on him, we will not be drawn away with the works of
iniquity.
Praise
be to God who promises always to hear our prayers and supplications
and provide us with the strength and fortitude necessary to overcome
all the forces of evil that come against us. This assurance ought to
cause us to go forth today rejoicing and liftig up our hands in praise
to him, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
