Psalm 143:8 (NIV)
8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
In nearly every disciple's life, there comes a time of
loneliness and doubt. It seems as if our prayer requests just bounce off the
ceiling and fall in broken pieces at our feet. God seems distant, hiding,
asleep, or unsympathetic to our cries for mercy and help. Thankfully God gives
us the Psalms. In the Psalms we can find words for almost all of life's ups and
downs. It is nice when we are down to know that others have been there before
us and have recovered their faith and vitality. But, there are just some
moments in life when we need to have God's reminders of his love and guidance.
This psalm, and these words are made for such a time. If the request is not
relevant to your need, then please, pray these words for someone else. If, on
the other hand, they speak to you then please, pray them for yourself!
Thought for today:
Do I allow doubt and loneliness to prevent me from being a leader?
