“The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?”įear is a bondage that can hold us captive within ourselves. When we pray this prayer and seek guidance through God’s Word, we can learn the wisdom of God’s direction for our lives instead of demanding our own answers. God’s guidance comes through the Bible and from the Holy Spirit. The first step to receiving guidance from God is to want it. “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.” When you need guidance from God, pray Psalm 25:4. Would God be pleased with your thoughts and your words if He first examined them? Like David, ask God to approve your thoughts and words before you express them. “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” When you need help with negative thinking and speaking, pray Psalm 19:14.
Pour out your heart to God and rest peacefully with assurance that He is in control. His peaceful sleep in a time of distress came from his cry to God. For David, he could have had many while his son gathered an army to kill him, but instead, he slept peacefully.
There are many reasons to have sleepless nights. “I lie down and sleep, I wake again because the Lord sustains me.”
Here is a brief list of prayers from the book of Psalms you can save for when you just don’t know the words to say: 1. The struggle is surfacing, but you just don’t know the words to pray as you cry out to God for help. You can feel a battle brewing within you. Have you ever been at a loss for words? What about when you talk with God?
