A Prayer for Help
Jehovah-Ma’oz – Lord, my Fortress, my strength and my strong-place, my safe place in the day of trouble. Jeremiah16:19
O Lord, You are faithful, kind and loving. You are my strength. Bring light where there is darkness, heal where I am weak and love where my heart fades. Let my life bring glory and honor to Your name and not to me, O Lord, not to me.
Hear my prayer, O Lord. Listen when I ask for help. Answer me because You are faithful and right. Do not find me so guilty where there is no forgiveness, for no one living is right and good in Your eyes. This world is cruel and the one who hates me has made it hard for my soul. This torment has crushed my life to the ground and I live in darkness. My spirit is weak and my heart fades.
I cry with a loud voice and pray with my voice to You. I talk and complain, telling You all my trouble. When my spirit grows weak within me, You know my path. My enemy has hidden a trap for me in the way where I walk. There is no one who thinks about me. There is no place for me to go to be safe. No one cares about my soul. Bring my soul out of prison, so that I may give thanks to You once again.
O Lord, You are faithful, kind and loving. You are my strength. Bring light where there is darkness, heal where I am weak and love where my heart fades. Let my life bring glory and honor to Your name and not to me, O Lord, not to me.
You are my God. Listen to the voice of my prayers, O Lord. You have covered me with Your grace. Please do not give the sinful what they want. Do not let their plans work, or they will be honored. You are my safe place, my share in the land of the living. Listen to my cry, for I am brought down. Save me from those who make it hard for me, for they are too strong for me. Bring my soul out of prison, so that I may give thanks to Your name. Those who are right and good will gather around me for You will give much to me.
You have been mindful of me, O Lord. I know You will bless me along with those who fear You, both small and great. May You give me increase more and more as I choose rightness and goodness. I will be thankful, as You are my strength.
