Psalm 149

1 Chapter: Psalm 149

1 Verse: Verse 4. For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.

1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for making me one of Your people. The difference that makes in my life and in Yours is difficult to fathom. Considering how ugly and painful I and my afflictions seem to be, it is rather incongruous to think that You take pleasure in me and make beauty out of them. I know You have given me salvation, and I am thankful. And though alienation from You is the biggest affliction anyone could ever face, it still doesn't mean that with that settled I don't suffer these others. And I need You to save me from them, too. Sure, I'll survive if You don't. I'll still love You and praise You and serve You. But what I want most is for You to hear and answer me about this need. Beautify this situation, please. I know Your grace is sufficient for me to live on in affliction. But Your power is sufficient, too. Show us some of that power on our behalf, please.
