Today is September 22
May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.
Take a moment and quiet yourself. Take a deep breath. Welcome God’s presence. And say, “Come Holy Spirit.”
Today’s reading is from Psalm 59.
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O God;
be my fortress against those who are attacking me.
2 Deliver me from evildoers
and save me from those who are after my blood.
3 See how they lie in wait for me!
Fierce men conspire against me
for no offense or sin of mine, LORD.
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Arise to help me; look on my plight!
5 You, LORD God Almighty,
you who are the God of Israel,
rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
show no mercy to wicked traitors.
9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
10 my God on whom I can rely.
The Psalmist had just come under attack. There were forces against him that he wasn't prepared for, and he was trapped, inside his house, which was surrounded by men waiting to kill him. When he wrote, "fierce men conspire against me," he meant it was happening to him in that moment, and in that dark moment, the Psalmist chose to connect with God. Think about what you do when you feel threatened.
This Psalm is a prayer of desperation. It doesn't even pause to offer gratitude before asking for help. Yet it ends with a hope, a renewal of strength, and a confidence that God was going to keep him safe. As we begin our time of prayer today, consider ways that you can connect with God when you're under too much pressure. Do you think about Him in those moments? Are you able to draw on his peace?
The best way to choose to connect with God under pressure is to choose to connect with Him when you're not stressed out, too. Creating a rhythm to your relationship makes it easier to call on Him in the moment you need Him. Today, as you move through your day, look for a time to add a quiet moment with God to your routine, no matter how insufficient it seems.
