Chaotic Week Part 3

Thursday September 3rd

Distressed and overwhelmed inside. Feeling so weak and frail and at the end of myself to take this step of faith. We feel like God is asking us to go forward. This was the Psalm that spoke so deeply to my heart today.

1 O LORD, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief.

2 Do not bring your servant into judgment,
for no one living is righteous before you.

3 The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.

4 So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.

5 I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.

6 I spread out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.

7 Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.

9 Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,
for I hide myself in you.

10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground.

11 For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life;
in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.


God give me the strength and faith to do your will! I am so weak and frail, but in this frailty I know that Jesus is my strength so we say yes to this process. Please continue to confirm if this is Your will! I have talked and sang about how your presence is better than physical comforts and our own plans and yet I am often never put to the test in this regard. You have asked so much more of others. I'm crying out for more faith!
