1. What was the psalmist asking God for (v. 153, 154)? Why do you think did he do this?
2. How do you usually cope with tough times? Where or to whom do you often turn to for help?
3. Knowing that God’s Word can preserve your life and save you, how will you allow God to do that for you today?
1. He did this maybe because of the intensity or the kind of trouble he was into at the time. And he knew that only God could help him and take him out of the pit he was headed to.
2. Before, I would resort to doing things that were not so beneficial for me. I would binge or would daydream a lot just to ease the pain. Yet, I don't know but I have become more in tuned with my reality now and I give credit to God for that. Now, I am praying more and asking Him more for wisdom and understanding as to how I would deal with any issue or dilemma coming my way.
3. I will let God's word transform and change me. I will let Him speak and talk to me. I will let Him do the talking. I will let Him guide me in every decision that I am going to make in my life.
" Lord, how great is Your mercy; let me be revived by following Your regulations."
-Psalm 119:156, NLT-
Lord, You know what I am going through right now. I am hurt because of the things that have been happening around me and the way people in my life have been treating me. I know, I need to get more of my confidence and self-worth from You but sometimes other people's treatment affects me that much. I must deal with this issue of self-acceptance and will let the people around me know that I am to be respected.
Looking back, I have seen what has been wrong with me and Lord, thank You for showing me my mistakes. Maybe I have not been treating myself with respect also that's why those people also do the same to me.
Lord, may I learn from Your word what am going to do with my situation now. I need to forgive those people but I will be cautious now as to whom should I let into my "inner circle." I will carefully choose my friends and if worst comes to worst that I will not find anyone trustworthy, then I will learn to get by on my own, with You of course.
Lord, this is just a learning experience. Thank You for teaching me many things. Thank You for the peace and love that I have in my heart. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
