March 18, 2020 Prayer Meeting

ourselves here in similar situations tonight Sometimes we we get something on our mind if we can't get it off and it begins to where is down. It begins to burn us down. We begin to create constantly about what's going on with that was David David had something on his mind isn't instead of dwelling on it by himself. David went to God with it. I'm really good night from The Book of Psalms chapter 4 verse 1.

Verse 1 seconds hear me when I call O God of my righteousness. You have relieved me in my distress help her see and hear my prayer. How long are your sons of men? Would you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love of worthlessness and seek falsehood Cielo? But know that the Lord is set apart for himself him. Who is Godly the Lord will hear when I called him be angry and do not sin meditate within your heart on your bed and didn't offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in the Lord. Are Armenians they does who will show us any good Lord lift up the light of your countenance upon us give book gladness into my heart more than in the season that their grain and wine increase I will both lie down in peace and sleep for you alone. Oh Lord, Make Me dwell in safety. You know, whatever we consider just how good God is we know that. He's done so much greater than you and I could ever dream of David wrote this almond. It actually began as a prayer is interesting to note. How many of David's songs were actually prayers and so is it Does oolong contain portions of prayers and his experience in dependence on God? David Could they could be set of baby daddy bring himself to sleep at night? Yeah, sometimes we get worried in and we find ourselves having a hard time going to sleep. I tell people you know, it's a good time to pray when you can't sleep. It's quiet. You're by yourself prey.

Folk somebody not long ago said I tossed and turned all night worrying about my situation. The person went on to detail a bit of what was happening and happening in his family and one thing. one thing that you said was Seeking sleep through prayer the world is a spinning ball of trouble and woe. Simone wants that began for everyone you meet is carrying a burger. It's important to move that. as we go through life people are dealing with burdens that we may never know anything about David have it a lot of burden is going on right now that David wrote Falling Towards a prayer and a testimony of exactly what God did for him in the midst of his heart if we know that David. We we know that he was a man after God's Own Heart. We know that he was closed in his walk with God. but Daisy praying. He brings in great times of distress you and I need to make it our have it to remain Prelude in great times of distress. The reality of the human condition of broken heartedness is singing in this song first one, you said. Hear me when I call on God of my righteousness. You have relieved me in my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer. They think was was in that I'm not sure what was going on. Some people believe the date was you he was riding this because of what happened to him had done, but David had definitely been going through some deep distress. It wasn't the first time they've got that David is throwing himself on the mercy of God. You have relieved me of my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer at this point. David said, I've already been delivered from my distress. He's really because he's been delivered. The word translates relieved in the new King James come from the Hebrew word. That means to a large. It's interesting because David is saying that he's been in situations where he seems far too small to deal with the problems and issues they face.

You would think David would think of himself small David went up against Goliath and we know that he slew the giant but now we find David in a place. where David is

crying out to God because of what he is about to face. I don't know what you may be facing today. And I don't know what may be keeping you awake at night, but didn't have a guy can help you realize just how big he is and that he is with you Isaiah said no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue which Rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the Servants of the Lord and their righteousness is for me in the middle. Are those overcoming the enemy Play the news is not to do so then we rest in his grace just as well. We all face distress. There's a lot of distress going on. Now people are worried about all sorts of things. People are worried about things that are going on with this virus people worry about thing for the economy people have worries before then. But Jesus said in this world, you will have tribulation but be a good cheer I have overcome the world John 16:33. Is that great promise that? Even though we are distressed we can cry out to God David said father have mercy on me hear me when I cry out to you. Because you've delivered me in my distress.

God is faithful to us and he will continue to deliver us but David revealed something else in this prayer David praying against not only is he praying in the time of distress, but he's praying against delusion.

Some people are so scared that we might we might classify them as delusional today verse to is this how long fo.you sons of man? Will you turn my glory to today? How long will you love worthlessness and see falsehood? A popular term today is fake news. David is bringing again delusional people and fake news. There's a great delusion in the world. Disillusion is that one can overcome sadness suffering in the results of sin with fun money power or some Earthly accomplishments. Andalusian the face of such thing. David determined to call out to the Lord. He was confident that the Lord would hear him when he pray. Why was he so self-assured in this matter? Is he praying even though this is an early song praying was not something that was new to David Pray when something that David went through and focused on quite often.

David knew that the Lord hears those who have a Godly in 10 those who seek God will is not their own. The world will offer you all sorts of ways to overcome stress. Earlier this afternoon. I want to CBS music clip. About the Spring Breakers in Florida. Everybody interprets it in their heart to be in 10 about going to get drunk on spring break and they had forgotten. Perhaps maybe not forgotten but just didn't hear there's a virus going around people routes to be quarantined for these people. complained because they were busy they were displeased and their event to find another way cuz I've got way You'll never find peace in this world aside from a relationship what I want. David referring against an illusion. He said how long will you love worthlessness and see faucet he wanted those around him and those opposing him to know that he was committed to God answer to the situation. He had no love for the worthless evening of men. Do you want to sleep well at night and you won't to get past the worries of this life. bright light David and trust in the Lord is it?

Baltimore telling David sea captain Worley worldly things David knew better than to entertain such a thought. David was Kirk the prowl

he prayed. Lord I'm in a time of distress Lord, keep me from going into the delusional thing. Keep me from going after those things that are not of you.

The guy I'm praying for the right direction.

Inverse before we find some interesting words. David says be angry and do not send their directions or order the David mentioned. What do you bring? These were the word while thinking of others was he speaking to himself as he spoke?

The God more than likely David was just reminding himself or being reminded by the Lord of issues about which he should be careful. We need to remember that the problems can drive us to God or they can cause us to drift away from God. Damn. It did not want to drift away from God. So David said, I'll be angry, but it will not send.

Want to say that at this point? David was angry that his own son and rebelled against you but he didn't want that to become personal. People will wrong Dutch from time to time but it should never become personal. We could always leave it in God's hands. They didn't realize that it was possible for him to turn the issue of Absalom 4 billion into a personal fight rather than the designs by.

God chooses the king we see that repeatedly and Israel history David you that David you what happened to Saul when he allow his feelings of the world and in the matter of his authority to become intimate rather than spiritually motivated. Whatever you are crazy, even if it is something someone done who keep your wits about you making sure that God. Playing that God's will is the center of the matter? David said it was. But he would be angry, but then he wouldn't send.

The first the second part of her before we find these words meditate within your heart. When you pray you are you're contesting sing and when you pray you are searching for something

Meditate within your heart Search Your Heart Take time to look at yourself and be sure that you are where God wants you to be. Make sure that you are weird God wants you in your attitude and in your actions, it's hard for us to look at ourselves as we should but when we meditate and we searched the matter with God's helping God word. He leads us into the right path. That's what David was doing. David is searching. Searching for what God would having to do.

the David David was very interesting man. David said something else that was interesting. The last part of Earth's core David said and be sealed. So what makes you think about David being single?

Sometimes a prayer will do all of the talk. We go to God and we believe we pour out our heart and then all right where we're done with that and we walk away. What is interesting here is David assay be silent. Elsewhere and song we know that David just be sealed.

The Summit play godspeed to you. Don't whine and kick about when you're facing trouble, but give God room to work. David is probably here in men talkin about how bad things were they were mumbling and doubting the future, but David remain silent that is he got close to God and he gave the Lord a chance to seek. Peace. and how her into his heart

you think

Good good, you can play us and to ask these things. It's good that the tune to God. Churches also good to be silent and listen to God. What David sought to do was to listen? Who is Micah?

David heape rained any salt the face of God.

subway, man versus League

there are many who who sang who will show us any good Lord lift up the light of your countenance upon us. This very evening was all around David if you want to buy this Saturday night. You don't have heart very hard to look. Is there if it was all around but David said Lord lift up the light of your countenance on us what cause your face to shine on as there are plenty of people to be discouraged workers in the good time. And they're even worse than a difficult time. Don't be one of those people encourage people now that side information, but David ask God to show his face. David was experiencing a break somewhere, but he said father if you would show me your face Show Me Your Glory

Seek God's face. Psalm 27:8 David Road, when you said seek my face my heart set on you your face Lord I will seek. You know that the answer God's always calling us to seek Him in these times in all time. God is calling us to to seek him to find his things to rest in him.

Call Ferguson said when you rise early in the morning and seek the face. He went to see the face of God and sisters one hour in the morning with God is better than two in the evening. I think any time with God is good, but David made sure that he devoted time to listen to what God had to say.

In these times when certain people see God with your whole heart. And lastly do what David did pray with the light? Pray with the light David Nail enjoy that that money could not buy in verse 70 that you have put gladness in my heart more than in the seasons at their grain and wine and crime family today in terms. We might put it this way. People has made me happier than the people on the stock market three months ago when they were hitting all-time highs. All the Great Harvest in good times that others were experiencing could not compare the piece that David had in his heart because of the presence of Peace power and Trauma. God put gladness in his heart David rejoice and was excited.

The grave with the Lifeguard put joy and David Hart when he was in deep despair. Even While others we're experiencing some Seth and David outwardly was struggling to stay afloat

David would remind us that we should make sure that our joy is not in things that are Joy is not a position pleasure or money. Real thing but the glory of the Lord is forever. David found his joy and God. because he said I lie down in peace and sleep for you alone. Oh Lord, Make Me dwell in safety.

David went through all of the all of the heartache to say

Got you. Call Peace. That ain't you is perfect safety.

Remind ourselves in all sorts of deep Despair and rightfully, so there's a lot of bad things going on, but God has not given us a spirit of fear. He is giving us perfect. Peace.

In times like these are when we like to sing the song It Is Well with My Soul, you know, what he can do. Well with our soul is because we rest in the promise that God gave it.

God never leaves us alone. He is everywhere at every time. He hears each and every person uniquely when they cry out to him.

Somewhere this week. I read about a little girl who was being put to bed by her mother little girl. Look at her been ran out of her bedroom window and she saw the full moon shining. My other mother close the curtains in the room a little girls to Mama. Is that guy at the light? Good Night Live mother answered and said yes darling that. It's not like she's a will when will God turn out his night light and go to sleep.

Mother said darling got them. He doesn't sleep. He'll stay awake and make sure you're cared for all through the night. How true that is very simple message to a child but one that's very true.

God never slumbers David baby can hear me when I call. Oh God out of my own God of my right and you have relieved me in my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer. He does each and every one of them. God is Not slack concerning his promise he hears when we cry out to you. David encouraged us to put our trust in the Lord tonight and every day I encourage you to put your trust in the Lord. in life hardship We must pray. We're trusting in the one who hears a who answers.

What about you didn't I?

I have no way of knowing who you walking tonight. But I do pose a question to you are interesting in this man named Jesus in this man named the Lord that that David's talkin about you see the Lord provided for David and he will provide the exact same piece for you get the gift of Salvation through his son Jesus.
