A Prayer for Deliverance (Psalm 55, Part 2)

The Anarchy (verses 9-15)

We pray for protection from the anarchy and lies that surround us. Like our Lord Jesus Christ many of us have experienced the betrayal of a friend. We can thank God for His faithfulness to provide the strength and resources we need. God’s love assures us of ultimate justice.

Comforting God, we see anarchy all around us. Our cities are in turmoil. Our friends betray us. Give us strength and spiritual resources to live the lives to which You have called us.

The Confidence (verses 16-21)

Desires that drive us, enticements that lure us, money that attracts us, losses that hinder us, and slanderers that discourage us surround us. In humility may we seek confidence from God. As he lives in us Christ will change how we relate to the world around us. In response to our prayers God will use our difficulties for His glory and our blessing. May we pray fervently and frequently.

Thank You, Saving God, that when we call on You, You save us. Thank You that You hear our cries. Make us more like Jesus. Remove our fear of those around us; give us only fear of Yourself.
