In
My Desperation I Prayed,
And
The Lord Listened;
He
Saved me From All My Troubles.
Scripture
Psalm
34
6 In
my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles.
7 For the angel of the Lord is a guard;
he surrounds and defends all who fear him.
he saved me from all my troubles.

he surrounds and defends all who fear him.
8 Taste
and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
9 Fear the Lord, you his godly people,
for those who fear him will have all they need.

Observation
“In
my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened”, boy, I can really
identify with King David and what he writes in this Psalm!
So
many times when David is writing a Psalm it is actually a prayer
where he is crying out to God during a time of full blown 100%
desperation.
Can
you identify with him? I sure can.
Not
all of my prayers are soft easy going prayers, no sir, there have
been lots of times in my life when my prayers were cries of
desperation just like what we read today in Psalm 34.
Take
time to read the entire Psalm today. It is short. It is only
twenty-two verses long.
Application
I
will cry out to God in desperation because I know that He listens to
me and He will save me from all my troubles.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You know everything that is going on in my life. Nothing is a
surprise to You. When I am desperate, when I have a crisis and I pray
to You I know that You listen to me. And I know that You will save me
from all of my troubles.
I
pray for those who are very sick. I pray for a friend's daughter who
is in a coma. Restore her to health. Give my friend peace in her
heart, peace that can only come from You.
