“LORD, see how my enemies persecute me!
Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,” —Psalms 9:13 (NIV)
6/9/2024 (Written in confinement)
O God, look upon me in mercy.
Observe and take note of how relentlessly the enemy torments me.
They continuously whisper in my ear —
Tempting me.
Calling me.
Reminding me of who I was.
Reminding me of the “fun” of sin.
Replaying past sin.
Digging pits before me.
Laying stumbling blocks in my path.
Showing me deceitful paths.
Distracting me.
Yet You allow me to grow stronger as I trust in You.
Father, rescue me.
Remind me of the truth.
You are my fortress.
You are my shelter.
You are my deliverer.
You —
Only You —
Are my hope
And my future.
