Psalm 31 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 31.

Meditate on verse 24.

Be strong and let your heart take courage,

all you who hope in the LORD.

David had a very personal relationship with God.  The LORD was David’s:

1.     Rock

2.     Fortress

3.     Strength (Psalm 31:3-4).

Because David intimately knew the God of Truth and took refuge in Him, he boldly asked God to do things for him.  Some of David’s requests from Psalm 31 are:

1.     “Let me never be ashamed” (v.1).

2.     “In Your righteousness deliver me” (v. 1).

3.     “Incline Your ear to me” (v. 2).

4.     “Rescue me quickly” (v.2).

5.     “Be to me a rock of strength” (v.2).

6.     “Be a stronghold to save me” (v.2).

7.     “Be gracious to me” (v.9).

Have you committed your spirit to the God of Truth and let Him ransom you (Psalm 31:5)?  If you have, reread Psalm 31 aloud, praying it with confidence to your Rock, your Fortress, and your Strength.

Pray Psalm 31:14-16 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“As for _________ and me, we trust in You, O LORD;

we say, ‘You are our God.’

Our times are in Your hand;

 deliver us from the hand of our enemies

and from those who persecute us.

 Make Your face to shine upon us, Your servants.

 Save us in Your lovingkindness.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
