14 day plan

Overcome

Day 1 of 14

CSB

Psalms 13:1-2

Psalm 13

A Plea for Deliverance

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

1How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

2How long will I store up anxious concerns within me,

agony in my mind every day?

How long will my enemy dominate me?

Reflections: Have you ever felt like this? It’s not wrong to ask God questions like these – it’s not a lack of trust but rather the expression of a deep faith when someone can cry out to God asking him where he is. It takes courage to ask these questions, and the person asking expects an answer.

Questions:  Have you ever felt like God has forgotten or abandoned you? Did you cry out to God like the Psalmist?

Prayers:  How long will you hide your face from me O God? Answer my prayers, according to you great wisdom and grace. Amen

Psalms 13:1-6

Psalm 13

A Plea for Deliverance

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

1How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

2How long will I store up anxious concerns within me,

agony in my mind every day?

How long will my enemy dominate me?

3Consider me and answer, Lord my God.

Restore brightness to my eyes;

otherwise, I will sleep in death.

4My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,”

and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

5But I have trusted in your faithful love;

my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

6I will sing to the Lord

because he has treated me generously.
