God Will Hear our Prayers when we are sick and oppressed


Verses: Psalms 6 : 1 - 10

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.






My thoughts about the verses:

Many people find it very hard time to pray when they are ill.  We do not want to get disappointed and not receive the answer we think we need.  It is easier to complain about being sick than turning it over to the Great Physician.

Amazingly people that give their illnesses over to God receive the strength they need.  People may not get the healing they desire, but they will find peace.  They will no longer be struggling by them self instead they find peace in loving God.

Then there are those times that we are oppressed and believe that this is God's will.  Yet, God doesn't want any of us to fill less than others.  We should be proud of who we are.  God will save us wherever we are in our life.  God wants us to know that the one that is considered the most important will be the least.  Those that suffer in the name of God will be lifted to the most important place in the Realm of God.

See God is with his people who are tied down to a structure that doesn't allow them to be free. Oppression of any kind is not tolerated in the eyes of God.  People who are oppressing people need to fear God.  God will not tolerate persecution of people based on their minority status. God will save those that pray for help from the Divine.

The main lesson we can learn from this scripture is that God does hear our prayers.  No matter what physical, emotional, or spiritual shape we are in.  If we ask God to take our pains away you will receive the answer you need.  Remember it might not be what you expected, but rather what you really need to survive.

The second thing that we can take from this is to never shut people out from the gift of God. Oppressing people and keeping them from living an independent life is against the will of God.  God will hear their prayers and help them conquer the oppression.  Think about how many times David was presented with hardships he could not overcome himself.  through the power of God he was able to overcome his captivity of isolation from his country and return as a celebrated King.

Prayer:

Dear God we praise you for listening to our prayers.  We thank you for giving us what we need.  We honor you for freeing us from oppression.  We give you glory for healing our bodies, mind and soul.  Help us dear Savior to be open to all people.  Help us to pray to you so that we may be free from our ailments and those that oppress us.  Help us never to turn away from you.  In the name of the One that Freed us from our Transgressions we pray.  Amen

Questions:


Are you sick and need to hand it over to God in prayer?  Are you oppressed because of who you are it time you hand it over to God?  Are you being a witness of love to the world?  Are you keeping people under any form of bondage?  Is it not time that we stop oppression wherever it is in society?
