O Lord, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me. Put on Your armor, and take up Your shield. Prepare for battle, and come to my aid. Lift up your spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Let me hear you say, “I will give you victory!” Psalm 35:1-3 NLT
Have you been accused of something you didn’t do? Are others continually making your life miserable?
To some degree, I think we’ve all been there at one time. I am continually encouraged as I read through the Psalms, which are mostly written by King David, knowing the God is fighting for me. King David we know was a man after God’s own heart, but yet he was so “real.” He called it how it was. He shared his “real” feelings with God, asked God to come to his aid, and at other times asked God to change his own heart. (Psalm 51)
If you’re struggling today, get out your journal or a piece of paper and write out your own Psalm, your feelings, as a prayer to God. He knows your heart and feelings already. He is just waiting for you to give them to Him. Just as David pleaded, ask God to come and fight for you.
May you hear the Lord say, “I will give you victory!”

I find it interesting how God, who all ready knows our situations and needs, is always waiting on us to come to Him with our interpretation of the situation.
He,who could bring things into alignment with His will with the wink of an eye, wants us to communicate with Him.
I think He designed this exercise to strengthen our Faith.
Thanks for your words of truth!
