The book of Psalms Number 3


The book of Psalms

 Number 3





1. O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; 2. many are saying to me, "There is no help for you in God."




(Book of Psalms Number 3 verses 1 to 2)




Oh God my Father this is the attitude of the world, when stress starts escalating and one has exhausted all one's cards, the only option is to give up. When all the tests have been done and the doctor has confirmed that we have been diagnosed with a terminal illness there is no other option left but to live day by day until the end comes.




However, this is not the attitude of the Christian, for we believe in a God who is able to reverse the causes of all illness. We believe in a God of life who promotes life, whose life on earth was one battle against the death of the body and the death of the soul. God will never abandon us, therefore let us place our trust in Him Amen.  




3. But you, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. 4. I cry aloud to the LORD and he answers me from his holy hill. 5. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me. 6. I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.



(Book of Psalms Number 3 verses 3 to 6)



Oh God my Father You watch over me every second of my life. Night and day You care for me. You are always available to listen to my prayers and will never put me on the waiting list or switch on the answering machine to receive my call. You are everywhere I go and knows what is going on in my life up to the smallest detail. Everywhere I go I carry with me my pocket version of the New Testament and I open at random and You always give me a trustworthy message Amen.


7. Rise up, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.  8. Deliverance belongs to the LORD; may your blessing be on your people!



(Book of Psalms Number 3 verses 7 to 8)



Oh God my Father protect me for I am harassed from all sides. My mind is in conflict with my body. I end up doing things that I do not want to do. My feelings come into conflict with my physical urges and I end up torn apart, both physically and mentally. Moreover, my spirit in unity with Your spirit that dwells in me plays the role of the referee and fights both mind and body in order to keep me in balance. I thank You my God, and Father for keeping and protecting me Amen.



Oh God my Father I would like to end this post with the following prayer.



Oh God my Father, God of all Gods Lord of all Lords, Father of all Fathers, I praise your Holy and mighty name. I thank You for protecting me at all times. May You never lift your eyes of me for I am a weak person who cannot live without You. May You protect me under Your wing like a hen who covers her chickens with her wings Amen.
