“But You, O God, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name’s sake;
because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me; for I am afflicted and needy,
and my heart is wounded within me. I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like the locust. My knees are weak from fasting, and my flesh
has grown lean, without fatness. I also have become a reproach to them; when
they see me, they wag their head.” Psalm 109:21-25)

Lord, You know the troubles of
this world. You know how we feel, especially when we feel adversity. Your
presence is always there, but there are times when I feel You are distant and
removed. Yet You have promised that You are with us always, even unto the end
of the age. Let Your promises rule above every circumstance that all would know
the You are God and will fulfill Your Word.

Lord, You know when I have foolish doubts and do not believe in what
You have said. Help my unbelief that I would boldly walk each and every day in
the hope You give. You alone are mighty to save and Your Word shall be
fulfilled. Fill my heart with the truth You have spoken so that I will not
waver or fall in with those who speak wicked things. Lead me in the truth of
Your Word.

Lord Jesus, You walked this earth
and know the difficulty of being faithful amidst the troubles of this world. You
know the temptations that cause us to waver and doubt. Lead me, O Lord, in the
way of truth that I would walk now and forever in Your salvation. Let my heart
not be troubled, but believe that You are the way, truth, and life and that You
are preparing for all who believe a place that is forever. Amen.
