”Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight. It’s obvious to all; you will have nothing to do with corrupt rulers who pass laws that empower evil and defeat what is right. For they gang up against the lovers of righteousness and condemn the innocent to death. But I know that all their evil plans will boomerang back onto them. Every plot they hatch will simply seal their own doom. For you, my God, you will destroy them, giving them what they deserve. For you are my true tower of strength, my safe place, my hideout, and my true shelter.
I love how David is just so honest and bold in prayer. He prays what many of us are too religious to pray. But this is a model for us in how to pray that evil is defeated in our communities, states and nation. I believe this is a time where we are starting to see the fruit of prayer for our nation with the decisive election of President Trump, and it is not time to hit the brakes. We need to hit our foot on the gas in prayer -- covering President Trump and his team continually in prayer. And asking for the Lord’s righteous judgement on those who are governing and legislating evil. Let’s pray they take the last moments before justice comes to turn to the Lord. But we can’t sacrifice future generations waiting on them. They answer to the Lord just as we all do. And we all have a part to play in ensuring that justice and righteousness are re-established in this nation.
