Daily Psalm: Psalm 60

Some times it seems as if the whole world is arrayed against us. It may also seem that in our troubles God is no where to be seen. Conflict is unavoidable, and we are facing it alone. But are we? David answers this question in Psalm 60, and it is good news for us who have committed our lives to rusting Christ.

Teach Us To Pray: Solitude

In the church through the ages, there has been a quiet consensus that without places of solitude in our lives we cannot live a life of prayer, or by extension, the Spiritual life at all. By solitude what is meant is a time and place alone for God, and God alone. If we are agreed and believe that what God has called us to is a personal relationship with Him, without time to speak with and listen to him that relationship will wither. That is the nature of all relationships, and even more so with Him. If we believe that God is involved in our lives, actively present, then we need a place and time to be attentive to our LORD on a daily basis.  This week continues a  series on prayer designed to lead us closer to Christ, As we begin, we ask the Lord to "teach us to pray." It is our first prayer, our beginning. Taken from Luke 11.1, it is a prayer of desire, our desire for Him. This episode also looks at  Matthew 6 that of our need of finding a private place for prayer, where we can be alone with the Father.    Morning Mercies is a podcast dedicated to the deepening of trust with God, our maker, through a relationship with Jesus Christ. He has become our Master, our teacher, and so we follow Him with our lives, be they what they are. They are brief, and  follow the simple format of scripture, meditation, and prayer.    Morning Mercies are posted several times a week on all major podcast platforms, and are presented by Michael Mullen.

Daily Psalm: Psalm 59

But I will sing of your strength;      I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.  For you have been to me a fortress      and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,      for you, O God, are my fortress,      the God who shows me steadfast love.

Daily Psalm: Psalm 58

what happens when mankind, or an individual forgets who they are and assume they are "gods"? It may sound crazy, but it happens all the time, and is everywhere to be seen. When a person says they are accountable to no one, and make themselves lord over their ways of living, and their decisions, they are according to the Bible, corrupt. Psalm 58 gives us some direction in how to pray when confronted with such people. If you would like to know more, check out the new posting in the Daily Psalms of Morning Mercies.
