Psalm 18 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 18.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/psa/18/1/s_496001

Meditate on verse 6.

In my distress I called upon the LORD

 and cried to my God for help;

 He heard my voice out of His temple,

 and my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

David had a personal, intimate relationship with the LORD.  Notice the list from verses 1-2 of who God was to David:

1.     my strength

2.     my rock

3.     my fortress

4.     my deliverer

5.     my God

6.     my rock of refuge

7.     my shield

8.     my salvation

9.     my stronghold

David knew these truths about God, so he cried out to the LORD in his distress. God heard him and came to his rescue. David’s list about God can also become your list. Reread this psalm and cry out to God to uphold and save you.

Pray Psalm 18:1 and 30-32 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“I love You, O LORD, my strength!

God, Your way is blameless; Your Word is tried. 

Be a shield to ________ and me; we take refuge in You.

 There is no God but You, LORD!  You are our Rock! 

Gird us with strength and make our way blameless.

Because of You, Jesus~”
