Psalm 142: Keep praying saints: I cry to the LORD and He is our refuge.

Rev. John Shank of Trinity Lutheran Church, Edwardsville, IL joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study and pray Psalm 142.

David was hidden in a cave and his spirit was faint. He prays out with complaints, trouble, and cries knowing full well that the LORD was his refuge, the One who delivers from prison, and God who is our portion in this world. We live in the reality that we believe, yet, we still struggle. The LORD gives us words to remember that in our loneliness and times of being fainthearted, He has not left us and He will deliver us. “LORD God, we cry to You and ask for mercy. You are our refuge will deliver me, and even though I am faint in heart and faith, fill us with Your Holy Spirit for You will deal bountifully with me. Lord have mercy. Amen”
