Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This Morning I prayed my daily Morning prayers and did some Scriptural readings, I have found Psalm 13: 1,2,3, 5,6 and Psalm 16: 1, 5, 8,9, so consoling and confident especially during this time of crisis and distress, I hope these Psalms would give you strength and peace as well.
Psalm 13:
How much longer will you forget me, Lord? Forever?
How much longer will you hide yourself from me?
How long must I endure trouble?
How long will sorrow fill my heart day and night?
How long will my enemies triumph over me?
Look at me, O Lord my God, and answer me.
Restore my strength; don’t let me die.
I rely on your constant love;
I will be glad because you will rescue me.
I will sing to you, O Lord, because you have been good to me.
Psalm 16:
Protect me, O God, I trust in you for safety.
You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need,
My future is in your hands.
I am always aware of the Lord’s presence;
He is near, and nothing can shake me.
And so I am thankful and glad
And I feel completely secure.
Be assured that all of you are in my heart and prayers.
