Psalm 142 - Wednesday

A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer. [a]

1 I cry aloud to the LORD;
I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
before him I tell my trouble.

3 When my spirit grows faint within me,
it is you who know my way.
In the path where I walk
men have hidden a snare for me.

4 Look to my right and see;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
no one cares for my life.

5 I cry to you, O LORD;
I say, "You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living."

6 Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.

7 Set me free from my prison,
that I may praise your name.
Then the righteous will gather about me
because of your goodness to me.

Eunice: God is really not seen but I know he's there.. sometimes its v hard to remember he's there no matter what, esp when u are cold n alone in the cave. Lord, mayb I always remember that you are there, in my heart, and beside me..

Sara: Hello everyone!! im back from my Hong Kong trip!! haa.. ok.. there were pleasant as well as unpleasant things that happened of course.. and i found vs 3 of this psalm to be especially true for me. All I can say is that I am so glad to be in the Lord's presence, for it is only in Him that I can seek refuge in when I am lost, feel weak and faint, and when I fall into the arms of the enemy! *i feel protected and safe being near Him*

Crow: Thank You Father, for You alone are really so faithful! It is you who know my way... Hee, today i had a very very sincere and pleasant affirmation... i really thank God and give Him all praise for it... I am really not worthy.... Thank u Lord...

Huijuan: I cry out to God on the MRT today, cos i jus feel that sth is missing in my life. And i found it back. It is serving in God;s ministry. Serving happily, serving with God. Met up with my gals for dinner today, we laughed non stop...I wana grow old with all of u. :)

DEllia: What can I say but that Lord all I can say is that give me a hug! Haaa...I know it sounds funny..but well, I just wanna be in the embrace of my Father.
