PrayerBits for Wednesday

Scripture lesson: Psalm 145:14-21 When, O Lord?

Time to reflect: We all want the things listed in this Psalm but all know that it doesn't seem to work this way in real life. We first need to keep in mind that this is an expressed wish by the Psalmist more than a statement of fact. As we know from other passages, God will take care of “in due season” not just whenever we would prefer.

Moving through the day: Pray about the ambivalent feelings you may have about wanting God's intervention and not getting it when you want it.



Scripture:

The LORD upholds all those who fall
       and lifts up all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all look to you,
       and you give them their food at the proper time.

 You open your hand
      and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

  The LORD is righteous in all his ways
       and loving toward all he has made.

  The LORD is near to all who call on him,
       to all who call on him in truth.

  He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
       he hears their cry and saves them.

  The LORD watches over all who love him,
       but all the wicked he will destroy.

  My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD.
       Let every creature praise his holy name
       for ever and ever.
