Psalm 43

Psalm 43

Prayer for Deliverance.

1^(A)Vindicate me, O God, and ^(B)plead my case against an ungodly nation;
O deliver me from ^(C)the deceitful and unjust man!
2For You are the ^(D)God of my strength; why have You ^(E)rejected me?
Why do I go ^(F)mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3O send out Your ^(G)light and Your truth, let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your ^(H)holy hill
And to Your ^(I)dwelling places.
4Then I will go to ^(J)the altar of God,
To God my exceeding ^(K)joy;
And upon the ^(L)lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.
5^(M)Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

hope in God. the help of my countenance and my God.
for the sake of thy lovingkindness, help.

i dont have much to say, maybe i should paste my email to you guys here. im just learning how to trust in God in everything, especially the "bad" stuff. been talking with my roommate more, its been pretty cool.

something cj mahaney said something i've been thinking about... the more you are aware of God's divine initiative, the more you will be amazed at the grace of God. he chose us, apart from his gracious choice of you, you never would have chosen him. you didnt discover God, he revealed himself to you.

im thinking, how am i here, why has God been so good to me.

the secret things belong to the Lord, and the things he has chosen to reveal belong to us. its hard to go on when the end seems so far away. but i definately havent fought my sin to the point of shedding blood.

why are you in despair, o my soul
why are you disturbed within me
hope in God, for i shall yet praise him.
the help of my countenance and my God

CJ mahaney: here is the only reason i am a Christian, he chose me.
