Psalm 28 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 28.

Meditate on verses 6-7.

Blessed be the LORD

because He has heard the voice of my supplication.  

The LORD is my strength and my shield;

my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;

 therefore, my heart exults,

 and with my song, I shall thank Him.

David knew the LORD listened to him.  He so loved conversation with the LORD that the very thought of God not talking to him, made David want to die (Psalm 28:1).  David and the LORD had an intimate relationship.  They discussed things.  David asked God questions and listened for His answers.  David communicated with the LORD.

What about you?  Do you and the LORD talk to each other all day long?  Would the thought of not being able to communicate with your Savior make you cringe?  Thankfully, if you are a believer in the LORD Jesus Christ, you and God can talk to each other every moment of every day because His Spirit lives inside of you.  What an amazing privilege you have!  Don’t ever take it for granted and always take advantage of it.

Pray Psalm 28:1-3 and 9 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

To You, O LORD; ________ and I call;

Our Rock, do not be deaf to us, for if You are silent to us,

 we will become like those who go down to the pit. 

Hear the voice of our supplications when we cry to You for help,

 when we lift our hand toward Your holy sanctuary. 

Do not drag us away with the wicked and with those who work iniquity,

who speak peace with their neighbors, while evil is in their hearts.

 Save us and bless us as Your inheritance. 

Be our shepherd and carry us forever.

In Your name, Jesus~”
