My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise You, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of You among the peoples.
For great is Your love, reaching to the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let Your glory be over all the earth.
Psalms 57:7-11
When times are tough, who do you turn to? Do you cry on someone’s shoulder? Do you go looking for your own solution? All of us should have someone who will stand with us when we need them to. With today’s world crumbling around us, we all are going to need someone to lean our heads on sooner or later.
We have had some health and other issues come up in our home and in our family. We also have friends who are suffering from health issues, and other issues, as well. But the first thing we do when these issues appear is to pray and to ask for prayers. There is power in prayer—healing, reassurance, love, answers, and much much more. Through prayer, we can offer our brothers and sisters in Christ a shoulder to lean on and the knowledge to know that they are not alone.
Through this power of prayer and love, our hearts are steadfast in God. We have a solid foundation in which to get up from our struggles and move forward. Our souls awaken when we talk to God or pray for others. Through prayer, we praise God and reach out to those who need Him most. When people know you are praying for them, it makes them feel loved and helps to strengthen their walk their God.
God’s love is for everyone. He is with us all no matter what we believe. It is through this love that we will spend eternity with Him. We will praise and worship Him when we live with Him in Heaven. What a wonderful promise to exalt and praise through song.
