SCRIPTURE: Psalm 31:1-13
“A Psalm for the Troubled in Spirit”
This is a psalm of prayer for Christians who are troubled by abandonment, sorrow, hatred from enemies, and death. It’s especially good to remember and pray this psalm when the fiery trials, which we’ve been considering this week, come upon you. In times of quiet, contentment, and leisure, it’s easy to remember the Lord, His mercy, and His Word. But all our discipline, memories, and comfort flee us as soon as the devil hints at the pains we’re about to feel. God’s voice is drowned out by all the noise. Thanks be to God for Christian brothers, sisters, and faithful pastors who visit us, not merely with good wishes, but with God’s Word when we need it most.
Make us strong, and let our hearts take courage, as we wait for You, O Lord. Amen.
