To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion! May he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!
Lord, my problem is not that You are not present for me in times of distress and troubles, but it is that I am so wrapped up in resolving whatever it is that is troubling me, that I do not turn to You, wait for You, rely on You. I need to accept that You are ever present, always, always, always at my side and a cover over me. What a precious promise in John 14:2, that if it were not so, You would not have told me that it was. Your promises are yes and amen!
Voices Together is taken from my daily meditations and is shared in the hope that others will be encouraged to use the Psalms as a basis for their own prayers, It is available in other formats including a daily e-mail, as a weekly bulletin insert for churches and for use in prison ministry, and published as an annual devotional.
