Psalm 142-144 MSG

Welcome!

 

Friends, I have been running the race living a life with Christ for a long time, over 30 years, and may I can tell you that life is HARD and so very sweet!

 

It's not always easy to be the kind of person God wants us to be. We struggle with temptation, and we fall sometimes. We can get frustrated when things don't go our way, and we get sad when things are hard. Sometimes we feel like nobody understands us—not even God himself!

But I believe that God has a plan for each of us and that his love for you and me is more than we can comprehend. He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6).

 

Who says that we need to be perfect? We don't need to wait until we are perfect before coming to Him with our problems; it's often better if we don't wait! He wants us to commune with Him as we are—the good and bad parts—because He loves us just as much in our imperfections as when we're doing well. And He wants us to know Him more deeply than anyone else in this world so that we can love others unconditionally, too (1 John 4:7-21). 

 

Today, I pray that all listeners worldwide know that God's grace is enough to help us make it through. And when we feel weak and lonely, the Word of God has the best answers for us. Even if we feel like we can't do another thing right or that nothing we can do will make us suitable for God to love and bless us, He works in us without realizing it.

 

If you are ready to get right with God, let's do something now to make it so; say this short prayer- for Christ's return:

"My God, I'm so sorry for what I've done. I'm ashamed of my sins, and I feel lost without you. Please come back. Please come back and help me. My soul is overwhelmed with guilt; my mind is heavy and burdened, bowed down and discouraged. But I keep waiting for you to save me. I know that you love me and have saved me now, and I accept you in my life."

 

 

I know that God is close to the brokenhearted; he saves the crushed in spirit. God holds the oppressed in his arms and gives them hope for the future.

 

Psalm 142-144 MSG is about how God's people are often overwhelmed by the wickedness of their enemies. The scriptures remind us that God is there for us, even when times get tough. We know that because He never fails to deliver on His promises.

He will protect you from evil and keep you safe from the wicked (Psalm 145:20). And when you are weak and helpless, He will help you (Psalm 116:6).

He is good to all who call on Him—yes, all who call on Him sincerely (Psalm 145:21).
