Psalm 3 Prayed
Struggling
with doubt and depression
O Lord Jesus, how many are my foes!
My
own thoughts have become my enemy.
How
many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
“God
will not deliver him.”
But you are a shield around me,
O Lord Jesus;
you
bestow glory on me
and lift up my head.
To you, O Lord Jesus, I
cry aloud,
and
you answer me from your holy hill.
For I have seen the wind, and I
am afraid,
I
am beginning to sink,
so
I cry out to you, “Lord, save me!”
Why do I doubt? Why is my faith
so little?
Reach
out your hand immediately
and
catch me, Jesus.
In the midst of my
discouragement
and
as I struggle with doubts,
Help me to lie down and sleep
in peace;
knowing
that when I wake again,
you,
O Lord, have sustained me.
If I sense you near, then will
I be able to say;
“I
will not fear the tens of thousands
drawn
up against me on every side.”
Arise, O Lord Jesus!
Deliver
me, O my God!
Doubts have become my enemy.
They
are joined by self-pity.
Darkness and depression
have ganged up against me.
Strike all these enemies on the
jaw;
break
the teeth of these wicked thoughts.
Deliver me from such a deadly
peril,
and
I trust that you will deliver me.
On you I have set my hope,
that
you will continue to deliver me,
For from you O Lord, comes deliverance.
May
your blessing be on me.
Selah
