These are the words from Psalm 69 yes for some reason I have been compelled to type it up for me and you. Prayerfully you will read to the bottom of this page where I have added my thoughts to this matter. Take your time and read it slow and be Blessed, Tis Awesome.
Save me O God! I feel as if the waters are up to my neck
I feel as if I'm standing in mud and sinking fast. There seems to be no solid ground under my feet. I feel as if I'm swiming in deep water with waves pounding on my head and pushing me under.
I am worn out from crying. My throat is parched from crying for help. My eyes are failing looking for my God.
My eniemies and those who hate me for no reason outnumber the hairs of my own head. They hate me without cause. They seek to destroy me unless I restore what they say I stole from them.
My sins, O Lord, are not hidden from you, and if I have been foolish and grasping, you know that too.
Lord, please help me, so that those who love and trust you won't be disgraced because of me. O God, help me not to let down those who put their hope in you. O my God, the God of Israel, I need you!
For your sake I am willing to endure scorn and ridicule and live with undeserved shame.
My own brothers treat me like a stranger. I feel like an alien to my own relatives.
But my zeal for you and your Temple is eating me up. What hurts you, hurts me.
When I give myself to fasting and prayer, my brothers scorn me.
When I change into the robe of a penistent, they laugh and point their fingers at me.
But as for me, I will give myself to fasting and prayer. I know you will answer me in your own time. I know you will answer me because you love me and because you are the God of my salvation.
O Lord, save me from sinking deeper into the mud, Deliver me from those who hate me. Don't let the angry waters push me down.
Don't let me be swept off my feet like in a flood. Don't let them push me into the pit of discouragement.
Out of the goodness of your heart, please answer me, O Lord! In your mercy, please turn to me and hear my plea!
Don't hide your face from your own servant. I'm in trouble and need your help.
Come, rescue and redeem me in the eyes of my enemies.
You know how people insult me without hesitation. You know how they disgrace me and you know who they are.
These insults have broken my heart and I walk around like a live mummy. I thought someone would take pity on me, but no one really cares. I thought there would be at least one who would give me some human comfort, but no one comes.When I hungered for sympathy, they gave me poison, and when I thirsted for understanding, they gave me vinegar.
When will they stop celebrating their victories over me? When will they stop and see what they're doing? They're only falling deeper into their own pit and being held tighter in their own trap.
My heart cries out against the villages and cities of my enemies until all their houses are empty and no one lives there again.
These pagans and others like them jump on anyone who is down and having a hard time. They love to talk about the misfortunes of good people especially those you're disciplining for one reason or another.
You know all about my enemies. Charge them in accordance with their crimes and don't let them share in your righteous blessings.
They're adding iniquity to iniquity, and they continue to prosper and make fun of the righteous.
O God, I am in pain and distress over this. Let me taste your salvation and grace.
I know this is better than sacrificing goats or young bulls on your altar.
When the poor see me praise you, they will be glad to know that they, too, don't need to sacrifice young oxen to have you love them.
O Lord, I know you listen to the poor in heart. You are always ready to set your people's spirit free.
Praise God, all you people. Praise Him, all you creatures on the land and in the sea.
He will save Jerusalem and defend the cities of Judah. His people will stay in possession of what He has promised us.
Our descendants will inherit the land, and those who love Him will live here.
Pslams make such wonderful prayers. How nice it is for the Bible to even help us pray. O how it aches me as It is like what I am going thru. And in the midst of darkness I must remind myself not loose hope, Let us remember to always look up to the heavens and not be afraid to speak to Jesus. This is what he wants us to do. Talk to him. He knows us even better then we know ourselves. His promises are true. When you are in dispair and tears seem to run like a river, with all hope gone Look up to Christ Jesus. He is always waiting just for you. When your closest friends and family discourage you. He is always there to lift you. For it is in the hard times that we have that we are able to get closer to Jesus. Do Not be afraid to call upon him. He is waiting. He Loves you unconditionally. It is in our sorrow and hopelessness that we go to him usually. Do not feel quilty Christ Jesus wants us too call upon him. He is a forgiving and loving Lord. Seriously look not for more so you may be Thankful just be thankful for what you are .... a beautiful Child of God. *smiles*
O Hallelujah
Matter of fact to trust in Jesus is such an easy task.... I prayerfully ask that you just trust in him. He won't let you down.
Our heavenly Father waits to bestow upon us the fullness of his blessings. It is our privilege to drink largely at the fountain his boundless love. God is ready and willing to hear the sincere prayer of the humblelest of his children.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9
