Psalm 20

Psalm 20
The Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
The name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May he send you help from the sanctuary,
and give you support from Zion.
May he remember all your offerings,
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices.
May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans.
May we shout for joy over your victory,
and in the name of our God set up our banners.
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.
Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with mighty victories by his right hand.
Some take pride in chariots,
and some in horses,
but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God.
They will collapse and fall,
but we shall rise and stand upright.
Give victory to the king of Lord;
answer us when we call.

We all long for this pandemic to be over. We long to feel victory and go about our lives once again. We are ready for people to feel better. We are ready for this day of trouble to be nothing but a distant memory.

But we know this is a time to be still. We know that this is a time to heed His word and reflect on His promises. It's time to cling to Him.

I know that I needed some conviction; that I needed to be reminded that there is more than this world and its suffering. I needed a reminder that I am not in control - but He is.

My prayer for you today and this week is that you take comfort in the promises of God. I pray that we all remain certain in His steadfast love. I pray we reside in His refuge and stand firm in His victory, the victory of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Even in dark moments, and even when we may feel like He isn't answering us, He is still with us. He is ever present regardless of our feelings or mindset. He will answer us when we call in His perfect timing. He is with us and He shall make us rise again - through the sacrifice of His Son.

I pray for our peace in these uncertain times. I lift all of us in prayer to experience the joy of His presence and abundance of His love. I pray that we will be victorious. I pray that in the mean time we honor and glorify Him in all we do and say so that the world will know of His love. I pray that when this is all over we remain under His wing, clinging tightly to Him and forfeiting our own control. I pray that we always hold onto Him and the victory He has granted us through His Son, Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation...(2 Corinthians 5:17-18)
