Deliver Me
For The Sake Of
Your Steadfast Love
O LORD, do
not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath. Be gracious to me,
O LORD, for I am languishing; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are shaking with
terror. My soul also is struck with terror, while you, O LORD – how long?
Turn, O LORD, save my life; deliver me
for the sake of your steadfast love. For in death there is not remembrance of
you; in Sheol who can give you praise?
I am weary with my mourning; every
night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. My eyes
waste away because of grief; My eyes waste away
because of grief; they grow weak because of all my foes.
Depart from me, all you workers of
evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. The LORD has heard my
supplication; the LORD accepts my prayer. All my enemies shall be ashamed and
struck with terror; they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame.
Some of our hardest struggles are
those deep desires that seem to go unmet – when no response comes from heaven
for what seems like forever. And then someday we will get the message from
family or friends saying, “I have trusted Jesus as my Savior.”
Keep praying.
In His time, God will answer.
Delay is not
denial. So keep on praying.
