Two really well-known and popular Psalms… Psalm 100 and 103! But sandwiched between them, a Psalm that caught my attention in a powerful way today in my Bible reading during “Coffee with the Lord” – Psalm 102! A Psalm that focuses on the fervent prayer of an afflicted person and his reflection on God’s faithfulness!
I don’t know what you may be going through today, but my prayer is you will allow the words from this Psalm to prompt your fervent prayer and encourage your faith! Here is some of what the Psalm declares… May it be an encouragement to you!!!
Psalm102
A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord!
“Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you!
Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress!
Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!
“But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever;
You are remembered throughout all generations
You will arise and have pity!
You regard the prayer of the destitute and do not despise their prayer!
“Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord:
He looked down from his holy height; from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,
To hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die,
That they may declare the name of the Lord, when peoples gather together, to worship the Lord.
“O my God,” I say, “take me not away in the midst of my days—
You whose years endure throughout all generations!”
“Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but You will remain;
They will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end!
The children of Your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you!
(From Psalm 102 ESV)
