Psalm of Comfort~#9~Psalm 12:5

"For the oppression of the poor,
for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise," says the LORD;
"I will set him in the safety
for which he yearns."

"I will arise and set her in the safety for which she longs for," says the Lord.

Lord, we pray for our friends and we pray for ourselves. We are being oppressed by the enemy and by life itself. You have heard our sighs and You do not rebuke us by calling us unspiritual because of our sighs. You hear our cries and You do not condemn. You say You will arise. When you stand the tall trees and mountains fall down. Arise, O Lord, and cause this oppression to cease. Set us all in the safety for which we yearn. It's scary out here. It's scary everywhere. Life is overwhelming. O Giver of Life, overwhelm the oppression in our lives. Arise inside of us and be strong. Spirit of God, flow through our being, and give us life and courage and peace and purity.

Yes, it is scary out there, even more sad when people don't understand that God Loves them. Thank you for your comforting words. Praise God for sisters and brothers in Christ who have the same understanding, who have God's Love in them to share to others.
