Psalm 25:1–22
INTRODUCTION:
TS: Notice some anchors for praying in times of trial:
I- EXPRESS YOUR TRUST IN THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD (PSALM 25:1-3).
A- Begin with surrender of your whole life to God. (Psalm 25:1)
1- The Psalmist surrenders his whole life (nepesh = נֶֶפֶשׁ) toGod.
means: “soul; self; life; person; heart.”
The inner person is nepesh, while the outer person, or reputation, is shem, most commonly translated “name.”
(Psalm 86:4)
2- If God has the innermost core of your being, he will own the rest of you as well.
B- Remember that God is faithful to those who follow him with their whole heart.
(Psalm 25:2-3).
1- The scriptures give assurance of God’s faithfulness to such people.
(Romans 10:11)
C- Confess your confidence in God’s faithfulness to direct your life (Psalm 25: 8-10).
1- The Lord will always lead his child in the right path (Psalm 25:8-9).
2- The Lord always lovingly and faithfully leads his obedient child in the right path.
(Psalm 25:10).
II- EXPRESS YOUR DESIRE FOR GOD TO INSTRUCT YOU (PSALM 25:4-5).
A- Ask God to show you the right path to walk.
(Psalm 25:4)
1- The thought conveyed is that the Lord knows the right path and he wants God to personally show him.
B- Ask God to teach you His truth from His word.
(Psalm 25:5)
1- “Point out” renders the Hebrew word, lamad (לָמַד), to help one learn.
The Hebrew process was to teach by rote and example.
a- This would personally involve the Lord in the process.
2- “Guide” = Hebrew “darak” (דָּרַךְ), meaning to lead or tread with, to lead in a march.
a- The Lord is being asked to personally treat with the psalmist, leading the way through the trial.
C- Express your faith in God’s instruction (Psalm 25:12-15).
1- The Lord will instruct, resulting in good things for his children.
2- The Lord is a friend, who rescues his children.
III- EXPRESS YOUR DESIRE FOR GOD TO EXTEND HIS GRACE INTO YOUR LIFE.
(PSALM 25:6-22).
A- Reflect on God’s grace extended in the past (Psalm 25:6).
1- Talk to God about his love and faithfulness in the past.
a- He does not need to be reminded, but you do.
B- Remember that God does not punish for sins that have already been confessed (Psalm 25:7).
1- In light of Calvary, He will no longer remember our past sins.
We need to remember that fact.
C- Request forgiveness for current rebellion (Psalm 25:11).
D- Request help for the present trials (Psalm 25:16-22).
1- Request God’s grace to help in the present trial (Psalm 25:16).
2- Tell God how you feel about your trial (Psalm 25: 17).
3- Recognize that God empathizes with your pain (Psalm 25:18).
4- Make your specific request (Psalm 25:19-20).
5- Confess that He is your only hope (Psalm 25:21-22).
