Day 5: But remaining confident of God's goodness
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you (Romans 16:20).
A Prayer Based on Psalm 27
Lord, You are my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? You are the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
One thing I ask from You, Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek You in Your temple.
For in the day of trouble You will keep me safe in Your dwelling; You will hide me in the shelter of Your sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at Your sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.
Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.
My heart says of You, “Seek His face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek.
Do not hide Your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; You have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior.
Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.
Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.
I remain confident of this: I will see God's goodness in the land of the living.
So help me wait for You, Lord; help me to be strong, to take heart, and to wait for You.
