The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness

Blessed is he who considers the poor,
the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
The Lord will preserve Him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth.
You will not deliver him to he will of his enemies.
The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; you will sustain him on his sick bed.
I said “Lord be merciful to me; heal my soul for I have sinned against You”.
My enemies speak evil of me “when will he die, and his name perish?”
Psalm 41:1-5

…Against me they devise my hurt
And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies his heart gathers iniquity to itself: when he goes out, he tells it.
All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they devise my hurt
“An evil disease” they say “clings to him and now that he lies down, He will rise up no more”
Psalm 41:6-8

My enemy does not triumph over me

Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me
But You O Lord be merciful to me and raise me up that I may repay them.
By this I know that you are well pleased with me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.
Psalm 41:9-11


Blessed be the Lord God of Israel

As for me you uphold me in my integrity and set me before your face forever.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen. Psalm 41:12-13

A prayer to the God of my life

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime and in the night His song shall be with me, a prayer to the God of my life

Psalm 42: 8




Deep calls unto deep
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfalls,
All your waves and billows have gone over me Psalm 42: 7

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro

Depend On God’s Unmerited Favor, Not Favoritism

Meditate On And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:9–10 There is a significant difference between God’s unmerited favor and favoritism . God’s unmerited favor is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, and we received it through His finished work at the cross. We did nothing to deserve His favor. It is completely unmerited. Favoritism, however, stinks of self-effort. Individuals who rely on favoritism for promotion resort to apple-polishing, office politics, manipulative tactics, backstabbing and all kinds of compromises just to get what they want. God has a higher and better way for you. It hurts Him to see His precious children groveling like sycophants just to get ahead in life. If a door closes, so be it! Believe with full confidence
