From the Ends of the Earth?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who call to you from the end of the earth. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Many of the psalms are a desperate plea to get God’s attention. God is responsive, but not always the way we hope or expect.

In Psalm 61:1-4 (ESV) David, the psalmist, is crying out and calling to god. He knows God has the power to protect him. God has been faithful in the past.

“Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah.”

Do you want God to hear your plea? Have confidence. God was a refuge for the psalmist. Trust he will be the same for you.

Flooding Your Bed with Tears?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who at night flood their bed with tears. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever cry yourself to sleep?

Around the world, there are those who don’t know where their next meal is coming from; there are victims of abuse who feel alone and abandoned; and there are people caught in the middle of war. God sees each individual.

In Psalm 6:6-9 (ESV) the psalmist pours out his heart:

“I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
My eye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.

Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.”

By the end, the author is no longer hopelessness. He is confident. He knows God hears and accepts his prayers.

Before drifting off to sleep tonight, please pray for those crying themselves to sleep.
