Psalm 9:17-20

1 Passage: Psalm 9:17-20

1 Verse: Verse 18. For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

1 Prayer: Father, bring to our remembrance the needy and afflicted among us, whether they be near or far, like or unlike us. You do not forget those who suffer, You identify with the lowly, the outcast, the downtrodden. We, as Your people, desire to do the same. Today, as I encounter people in various states of neediness and affliction, please help me to demonstrate a sensitive awareness to those needs. Help me to stand with them, to remind them that You have not forgotten or abandoned them, even if it seems all the rest of the world has. Father, transform us into a people who, rather than magnify the hurt that the marginalized suffer, bring hope.
