Lord, You are my help…. (devo reflection)

Psalm 54:1 Save me, O God, by Your name; vindicate me by Your might.

Lord, I know that I am a deeply, fiercely loved child of God, and I am so thankful. You know that I am also physically and mentally exhausted today, that I am feeling defeated, even before the day has begun. I know that that attitude is not of You—the Creator of the universe, the Risen Savior. Save me, O God by Your name. Help me remember that Your power, might, and love are with me through this day, greater than any obstacle I face.

Psalm 54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

Lord, I know when I get into this beat-down mental space, it’s hard for You to use me, and I don’t want to be unusable to You. Help me to silence the doubts . Renew me so that I am not drug down by the exhaustion. Hear my prayer, O God and renew Your steadfast spirit within me. 

Psalm 54:4 Surely God is my help; the LORD sustains me.

Lord, You are my help. You sustain me. You hear me. You uplift me. You deliver me. Help me to shake off these chains so that I can shine Your light for all to see. Draw me closer. Amen.

Psalm 54:7 You have delivered me from all my troubles….

Have a blessed day.
