¹ Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 1)


Oh God, my Father many of us may be asking this question during this time of stress and anxiety due to this new coronavirus. However many are not considering that we make ourselves known to God only or specifically during such times which is not fair on You my God and Father Amen. The real question is to be done from You to us my God and Father. 


² In arrogance the wicked persecute the poor let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 2)


Oh God my Father You are justice incarnated. You are the only person who is worthy of exposing our positive and negative traits, for You are not conditioned by bias or sympathy Amen.


³ For the wicked boast of the desires of their heart, those greedy for gain curse and renounce the LORD.


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 3)


Oh God my Father, I pray for those who have freely chosen to live a life that does not have Your presence, a life that is completely worldly and atheistic. I pray that one day they will make a mountain top experience of You that will change their lives forever Amen.


⁴ In the pride of their countenance the wicked say, "God will not seek it out." all their thoughts are, "There is no God."


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 4)


Oh God my Father people who declare that there is no God have problems in their life. On realizing the emptiness of their lives they fall into despair because they have no safe base to which to turn to, therefore it becomes a vicious circle, of depression, drugs, crime leading to their own destruction and the forces of evil have claimed another soul.


⁵Their ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of their sight; as for their foes, they scoff at them.


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 5)


Oh God my Father there are people who appear to be very successful, those people whom we say have really made it in life! According to the criteria of the world, they have achieved all their aims and wishes however according to the ways of the kingdom they are scoring very low. They may feel empty godless and depressed for now that they have reached the fulfilment of their lives, they may have nothing else to live more. Moreover, such people who appear so successful in our eyes may be subject to depression and suicide. I pray that You help us find a healthy balance in our needs and wants to strike a balance from what is of the material world to that of the spiritual Amen.



⁶ They think in their heart, "We shall not be moved; throughout all generations we shall not meet adversity."


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 6)


Woe to such people who think that nobody or no one can stand against them, or equal them in riches or graces or power. For You humble those who think that they are upright and make the humble stand up with their heads held high Amen.


⁷ Their mouths are filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under their tongues are mischief and iniquity.


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 7)


Oh God my Father may our entire beings proclaim Your faithful love and mercy Amen.


⁸ They sit in ambush in the villages; in hiding places they murder the innocent. Their eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; ⁹ they lurk in secret like a lion in its covert; they lurk that they may seize the poor; they seize the poor and drag them off in their net.


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verses 8 to 9)


Oh God my Father I pray for Your protection against evil spirits who stop at nothing to try and take our souls Amen.


¹⁰ They stoop, they crouch, and the helpless fall by their might.


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 10)


Oh God my Father the evil spirits of darkness take on many forms and sizes and use different skills in order to make us sin, then they accuse us of sinning against You. I pray for Your protection and that of our guardian angels Amen.


¹¹ They think in their heart, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it."


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 11)


Oh brothers and sisters, the moment that we think that God has abandoned us and that He has removed his hand from us, we end up in solitude and depression leading to sin. God will never abandon us. He knows us each by name and has our name inscribed on the palm of his hands Amen. We can never be forgotten by God Amen.


¹² Rise up, O LORD, O God, lift up your hand; do not foeget the oppressed.


(The Book of Psalms Number 10 verse 12)


Oh God my Father You are always aware of our needs especially those of us who are oppresed by tribulations. You are in control of every situation. I pray for the souls of the people who died in the floods of Siciliy yesterday that if they were not prepared to meet You, mercy will shown from Your end Amen.
