Psalm 11

11 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Prayer:

Abba Father, in the midst of challenges and uncertainties, I turn to you as my refuge and strength. When the world around me seems to crumble, and the foundations are shaken, I place my trust in your unwavering presence.

Lord, there are moments when it feels as though the wicked prevail, and arrows of trouble are aimed at the upright. Yet, I know that you are on your heavenly throne, and your eyes see all that happens on earth. You are a God of justice, and you hate violence and wickedness.

I pray for the righteous and the upright in heart, that they may find strength and courage in you. Protect them from the schemes of the wicked, and may they feel your presence in the midst of adversity.

Lord, let your righteousness prevail. May your justice be a beacon of hope in a world that sometimes seems dark. For you are a God who loves justice, and the upright will one day see your face.

In times of trouble, help me to stand firm in my faith, knowing that you are with me. May your peace that surpasses all understanding guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

I offer this Prayer in the name Jesus, Amen.
