Psalm 30 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 30.

Meditate on verses 4-5.

Sing praise to the LORD, you His Godly ones,

and give thanks to His holy name. 

For His anger is but for a moment;

 His favor is for a lifetime;

weeping may last for the night,

 but a shout of joy comes in the morning.

David wrote a thank you list to God in Psalm 30:1-3.  This is what David exalted the LORD for doing:

1.     You have lifted me up.

2.     You have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

3.     You healed me.

4.     You have brought up my soul from Sheol (the place of no return, hell).

5.     You have kept me alive.

Could this be the start of your thank you list to God?  David and the LORD do not mind sharing it with you.  

Write out a thank you list to your LORD Jesus Christ.  Make it personal like David did by talking to God and saying, “You have…” Let this become one of your holy habits.

Pray Psalm 30:10-12 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to _______ and me.

O LORD, be our helper!

Turn our mourning into dancing.

Loose our sackcloth and gird us with gladness.

Let our souls sing praise to You and not be silent.

O LORD our God, we will give thanks to You forever.

In Your name, Jesus~”
