Psalm 21:8-9
Your hand will find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
You will make them as a blazing oven
when you appear.
The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath.
and fire will consume them.

Thoughts for prayer -
Never downplay the reality and the seriousness of God's wrath against sin. Pray that your awareness of God's wrath would grow so that you will appreciate the sacrifice of Christ more fully and share the good news of God's grace more eagerly.

Psalm 91:1-10
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with is pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place -
the Most High, who is my refuge -
no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.

Thoughts for prayer -
The Christian life is not characterized by fear of circumstances. God is with us and for us, so pray that his presence in your life would free you from anxiety.

Psalm 77:14
You are the God who works wonders;
you have made known your might among the peoples.

Thoughts for prayer -
Christ's death for our salvation is the ultimate example of God accomplishing his purposes through weakness. Pray that you would adopt this perspective: weakness is not a hindrance to the work of God but an opportunity for God to work in unexpectedly powerful ways.

Psalm 65:5-8
By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
the one who by his strength established the mountains,
being girded with might;
who stills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
the tumult of the peoples,
so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

Thoughts for prayer -
Remember that God will save all of those who are called to be is. Since nothing can prevent God's powerful saving hand, we can share Christ with confidence that the final result is always in his hand. Pray that this truth would strengthen your ability to share the gospel with great confidence in the saving power of God.
