This long prayer of David jumped out at me this morning. It’s a good reminder of the need to wrestle in prayer.
“I pray to you, O Lord, my rock. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you are silent, I might as well give up and die.
Listen to my prayer for mercy as I cry out to you for help, as I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.
Do not drag me away with the wicked—with those who do evil—those who speak friendly words to their neighbors while planning evil in their hearts.
Give them the punishment they so richly deserve! Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness. Pay them back for all their evil deeds! Give them a taste of what they have done to others.
They care nothing for what the Lord has done or for what his hands have made. So he will tear them down, and they will never be rebuilt!
Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
The Lord gives his people strength. He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.
Save your people! Bless Israel, your special possession. Lead them like a shepherd,
and carry them in your arms forever.”
Psalm 28: 1-9 (NLT). #prayer

Greetings 👋
God calls every Believer to use their life for kingdom purposes. What is He nudging you to do?
“Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth. But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.” Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:4-10
