A Prayer for Deliverance (Psalm 55, Part 3)

The Trust (verses 22-23)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2055:22-23&version=NIV

May we replace our anguish and fear with trust in God. While God does not promise us prosperity, He has promised to take our burdens and carry them for us. We do Him the greatest honor by casting our burdens on Him.

Trustworthy God, we cast our cares on You. Thank You that You can and do sustain us. Do not let us be shaken. Increase our faith as we trust in You.

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
      All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
      Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
      O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
      Everything to God in prayer!
 Joseph Medlicott Scriven (1819-1886)
