Psalm 46

Verse 2: Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

It's not if trouble comes, but when and how, isn't it Lord?  Trouble is coming.  Trouble is here.  And yet, we will not fear.  We will not fear because You are in charge.  You are perfect.  Your ways are so far beyond us we can't even begin to comprehend.  And you have never and will never leave us to face anything alone.  You have been where we are and you understand everything perfectly in ways we cannot fathom.  Thank you for being our perfect, sovereign and loving God.  Thank you for killing death.  Thank you for making it possible to live fearlessly.  Amen.

Psalm 45

v. 6 Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

Lord God, you are holy and just.  You are everlasting.  You are eternal.  Thank you for being a powerful, everlasting God.  Your infinite power, justice and love are incomprehensible.  Thank you for being an incomprehensible God, who has made Himself available to His people.  Thank you for being available to me.  Thank you that good trumps evil.  Thank you that justice will reign forever.  Thank you that we ought to fear no evil for you are with us.  Amen.

Psalm 44

v. 26  Rise up and help us; rescue us because of your unfailing love.

Lord, please help us.  Help my family.  Help my marriage.  Heal us.  Save us.  Rescue us because of your unfailing love.  We don't deserve to be rescued, but you will do it.  Please have mercy on me.  We can't do this ourselves.  We need you.  And yet I live so often like I don't need you at all.  I am learning.  I am learning that I am nothing without you.  I love you Lord.  Amen.
