Meditate on verse 10.

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God.

Crushed and overwhelmed in the middle of serious trials, David cried out to God, not only begging Him to come to his aid, but wanting God to teach him, so the hard time could be a productive time. Are you or someone you love in the midst of difficult days? What is God teaching you? He doesn’t allow these seasons for naught. As you walk through trying times with the LORD, your faith increases, and you are made perfect and complete in Him (James 1:2-4).

Pray Psalm 143:1 and 3-12 over yourself and those you love as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications!

Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness! 

The enemy has persecuted __________ and my soul;

he has crushed our life to the ground;

he has made us dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead. 

Therefore, my spirit is overwhelmed within me;

my heart is appalled within me. 

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings;

I muse on the work of Your hands.  I stretch out my hands to You;

my soul longs for You, as a parched land. 

Answer me quickly, O LORD; our spirits fail;

 do not hide Your face from us,

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

Let us hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,

for we trust in You; teach us the way in which we should walk;

for to You we lift up our souls. 

Deliver us, O LORD, from our enemies; we take refuge in You. 

Teach us to do Your will, for You are our God;

let Your good Spirit lead us on level ground.  

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive us.

 In Your righteousness, bring our souls out of trouble. 

And in Your lovingkindness, cut off our enemies

and destroy all those who afflict our souls, for we are Your servants.

In Your name, Jesus~”
