Psalm 58

v. 6 Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!

Father there is evil in the world.  You know that far better than I do.  Why do you tolerate the evil like you do?  I can never understand, but I trust you are God and you know what you're doing.  You are nothing but good.  You are perfect.  Lord, thwart the plans of the wicked.  Stop them.  Stop the violence.  Stop the killing.  Stop the hurting.  Tend to the afflicted.  Help them.  Rescue them from evil.  Tear down those who are bent on destruction.  We need your healing and rescuing hand so desperately.  Amen.

Psalm 57

v. 11   Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

Father, you are holy, you are perfect, you are the one and only God.  You are King.  Let your name be praised.  Let your name be praised everywhere all the time.  Make my heart new.  Let my mouth be full of praise.  Let my steps be guided by you everywhere all the time.  I need you.  I love you.
Thank you Jesus.  Reign in me.  Reign in us.  Reign over all.  Let your Kingdom come, let your will be done.  Be glorified most high God.  Amen.

Psalm 56

v. 3 and 10   When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.  In God, whose word I praise -- in the Lord, whose word I praise.


Father I put my trust in you.  At least, I want to.  Show me and teach me to trust you.  On my own, I am afraid.  With you, I can fear nothing.  I give you praise.  You are God.  You are King.  You are all powerful and everlasting.  I can't imagine your greatness and glory.  I praise your Name and I praise your Word.  You are the Word.  Take my fear.  Take my heart.  Take my life.
