Psalm 9:18 NLT
But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.
I listened to an interview with the mums of the young girls still held hostage in Gaza.
Who can enter into their pain and despair, knowing that their daughters are being abused daily in the most horrendous ways?
Indeed, the girls themselves must feel that their hopes are crushed and stamped out, with the unending nightmare seemingly spiralling into infinity.
How to pray, how to approach this?
The only way is to pray. What to pray?
When words fail, pray the Psalms...
In my own trials, the Holy Spirit prompted me to pray through the Psalms.
The source of comfort, hope and strength in the eventual plight of the wicked is found there.
Psalm 9:7-10 NLT
But the LORD reigns forever, executing judgment from His throne. [8] He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness. [9] The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. [10] Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for You.
Hang on to this truth - Help IS on the way.
