God will Not leave us Defenseless

Verses: Psalms 141: 1 - 10

My thoughts about the verses:

We should spend our days and nights praising our God.  Our life should be an example to others of the wondrous deeds of God.  We gain our strength from the one that gives us power.  We are anointed by the wisdom of God.  We are blessed with peace and comfort.

We as humans go through many times in our life when we are in great need.  We look around and see the things in our life that are making us fall down.  We attempt to overcome the challenges of life many times by ourselves.  Yet, God wants us to embrace the fact that we need God in our life.

God is merciful.  We forget this often.  We walk around in our pain.  We allow the world to bring us down.  We hear people speaking against us and we hurt deep down inside.  God comes in our life and lifts that pain and hurt.

I remember when I first came out as being a Lesbian.  I was shunned from the very thing that needed most.  The church blocked the door from me because they felt that I was living in sin and would not repent of my sin.  I felt like that had lost the love of God.

It took me a long time to realize that I was created in the image of God.  God is love.  I had to learn that God would never persecute me for sharing love with someone.  Fourteen years ago I met the person that was my soulmate.  I found someone that believes just like me.  She loved God and knew that God loved her just the way she was.

Isn’t that what we are taught to find.  We are taught to find someone that believes and loves God.  That person will fulfill our life and God will be the center of the relationship.  How many heterosexual relationships falter because God isn’t the center?  Yet, we have no trouble marrying people that are opposite sex.  We don’t question why they are marrying.  We figure that they are matched in their soul.  Yet, when two people of the same sex meet the soulmate that God created from them we deny them the right to be legally married by the state.

Our God is merciful.  God looked at my relationship and anointed it with mercy and grace.  God recognizes that our love is exactly what it should be.  God has blessed our relationship and we are seen as one united in faith.  Our love is what God desires for all people. 

We need to realize that as people comes up against us that we have to go to God in prayer.  We need to realize that God will be there for to defend us.  We do not have to fight.  God has the authority to overcome all that comes against us in our life.  Imagine how wonderful your life would be if you came to understand that God never leaves your side.

Prayer:

We praise you God.  We lift our voices up to you in praise.  We thank you for your love and mercy.  We praise you for standing beside us.  We thank you for saving us not only from our sins but from the strife of the world.  Help us dear God to give our life over to you.  Help us to remember that you do not let us face our battles alone.  Help us remember that we are your beloved children.  In the name of the Merciful God we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Are you worried what people think about you?  Are you afraid that you are fighting the battles of life alone?  Have you asked God to be merciful to you?  Do you understand that you are never left defenseless?  Are yon willing to turn your problems over to God so that you are made whole?
