"Deliver me, LORD, from the wicked; preserve me from the violent, From those who plan evil in their hearts, who stir up conflicts every day,
Keep me, LORD, from the clutches of the wicked; preserve me from the violent, who plot to trip me up." Psalms 140:2-3, 5
Psalms 140 - Look within. It is easy to look out and see the conflict that another is doing or has done, to point the finger of the wrong. What about within, am I capable of such things? Do my thoughts turn to causing harm upon another, do I respond emotionally when attacked. Being conscious of God within, God is love, slows one down to respond, it causes one to look at the plank in our own eye. This consciousness of self with God is deliverance and the actions of others aren't taken as personally. You see the trap that we can easily be caught in or have been in and respond in ways that brings out Christ. Hate the sin not the sinner, remember it is Christ within that we are calling upon for strength and deliverance.
What is God saying to me:
Dear Father, life is a Great Teacher when we are present to You, the parables play out in front of us. Evil is all around us trying to ensnare us to join its cause, yet a life of prayer is the armor we need along with self examination to see the areas we need to amend. Your counsel is timely God and always perfect, help us defuse the situations that come up in our day so the battle can be won within. Prayer for a commitment to a deeper prayer life on a daily bases. Prayer for safe travels and Your protection as we go into the day. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us
St Joesph, Pray for us.
