meditating on God's wordEverytime I'm feeling lost or faced with a problem I'd turn to the bible for help. Today is no different. God works in mysterious ways. I said a prayer first, then opened it and came across this verse:PSALM 141
An Earnest Appeal for Guidance and Deliverance
A Pslam of David.
Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my supplications!
In Your faithfulness answer me,
And in Your righteousness.
Do not enter into judgment with Your servant.
For in Your sight no one living is righteous.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.
I remember the days of old;
I mediate on all Your works;
I muse on the work of Your hands.
I spread out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land.
Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide your Face from me,
Lest I be like those who go down
into the pit;
Cause me to hear Your
lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in
which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You,
Deliver me, O Lord, from my
enemies;
In You I take shelter.
Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Revive me, O Lord, for Your
name's sake!
For Your righteousness' sake
bring my soul out of trouble.
In Your mercy cut off my
enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict
my soul;
For I am Your servant.
Perfect. Just what I was looking for.
*Btw, MATTHEW 5 - 7 is super interesting.
