A prayer of David, A prayer for Us!
Psalm 17:1 NLT “O Lord, hear my plea for justice. Listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer for it comes from honest lips.

17:14 “By the power of your hand, O Lord, destroy those who look to this world for their reward, but satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.
17:15 “Because I am righteous, I will see you. When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.”
Hallelujah ✨
This collection of verses within chapter 17 not only provides us with a feeling of protection but also that of love and compassion as God looks down upon his children who cry out to him.
I hope you find comfort and strength in these words but also a perfect prayer to commit to a lost and hurting world governed by lies and greed disguised as care and compassion!
I pray for peace in Israel. I ask you, Lord Jesus, to shine brightly, in these dark days and that our lives would be illuminated by your glorious light.
We give you all the praise, all the glory! Amen 😌
