Hear My Prayer, O Lord
A Prayer in Time of Danger
1
Listen, Lord, as I pray!
You are faithful and honest
and will answer my prayer.
2
I am your servant.
Don't try me in your court,
because no one is innocent
by your standards.
3
My enemies are chasing me,
crushing me in the ground.
I am in total darkness,
like someone long dead.
4
I have given up hope,
and I feel numb all over.
5
I remember to think about
the many things you did
in years gone by.
6
Then I lift my hands in prayer,
because my soul is a desert,
thirsty for water from you.
7
Please hurry, Lord,
and answer my prayer.
I feel hopeless.
Don't turn away
and leave me here to die.
8
Each morning let me learn
more about your love
because I trust you.
I come to you in prayer,
asking for your guidance.
9
Please rescue me
from my enemies, Lord!
I come to you for safety.
10
You are my God. Show me
what you want me to do,
and let your gentle Spirit
lead me in the right path.
11
Be true to your name, Lord,
and keep my life safe.
Use your saving power
to protect me from trouble.
12
I am your servant.
Show how much you love me
by destroying my enemies.

Teach Me The Way -- Ron Harper
In a time of trouble, the psalmist wrote, “Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; for I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul” (Ps. 143:8). Regardless of any situation in which we may find ourselves, that ought to be our prayer.
Psalm 143 is thought by some to be the last of seven “penitential psalms.” Those include Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102,…

When God Feels Distant (Ps 143)
The following is an unedited sermon manuscript; for an explanation of my sermon manuscripts, click here.*Originally preached December 4th, 2022*
I came to faith when I was fourteen years old. At the time I was the only member of my family who was a Christian and so my choice to go to church, read my Bible, pray, etc. were all choices I self-consciously made in contrast with my family, and so I…

I Stretch Out My Hands to You
1
Hear my prayer, O Lord,
give ear to my supplications;
in Your faithfulness answer me,
and in Your righteousness.
2
Enter not into judgment with Your servant,
for in Your sight no one living is righteous.
3
For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
he has crushed my life down to the ground;
he has made me to dwell in darkness,
as those who have been long dead.
4
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
my heart within me is desolate.
5
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I consider the work of Your hands.
6
I stretch forth my hands unto You;
my soul thirsts after You as a thirsty land. Selah
7
Respond to me quickly, O Lord,
my spirit fails;
do not hide Your face from me,
lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
8
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
for in You I have my trust;
cause me to know the way I should walk,
for I lift up my soul unto You.
9
Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
I flee unto You for my protection.
10
Teach me to do Your will,
for You are my God;
may Your good spirit
lead me onto level ground.
11
Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake,
for Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12
In Your mercy cut off my enemies,
and destroy all them who afflict my soul,
for I am Your servant.
