14 day plan

Overcome

Day 13 of 14

NIVUK

Psalms 13:5-6

5But I trust in your unfailing love;

my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6I will sing the Lord’s praise,

for he has been good to me.

Reflections: Sometimes the most helpful thing to do when we feel overcome is to remind ourselves of the facts. And there are plenty of good ones about God that can prove to be constant and comforting during a deep crisis. God loves you – and there is nothing that can stop him loving you. God saved you – not because of anything you did or do, but because he loves you. He will continue to show you goodness and grace because you are his child, whom he loves.

Question:  What other facts about God help you when you are struggling?

Prayers:  Thank you, God, that you don’t change. Thank you that your love is constant. Amen.

Psalms 13:1-6

Psalm 13

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1How long, Lord? Will you forget me for ever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts

and day after day have sorrow in my heart?

How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3Look on me and answer, Lord my God.

Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

4and my enemy will say, ‘I have overcome him,’

and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

5But I trust in your unfailing love;

my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6I will sing the Lord’s praise,

for he has been good to me.
