Prayer - O LORD, My Strong Habitation (Psalm 71)

 


Have you ever heard of the place called Goma?  It's in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).  The citizens live in constant terror for their life.  Let's say a prayer for them.

OH Lord, we are so heartborken for the people of Goma and for Your family, our brothers and sisters-in-Christ.  But we put our trust in You especially for these people, Your Church in Goma.  They undergo so much trauma and terror at the hands of the M23 and other factions.  Deliver Your people in Your righteousness.  Help them escape, deliver them from the wicked, unrighteous and cruel godless men.

Be a strong habitation for them, in the terrors by night and by the arrow that flies by day (see Psalm 91:5).  

Be their rock and fortress.

In times of great fear help them to sing priase, to stay steadfast in You, all the day long.  Their enemies speak against them and lay in wait for them.  Make haste to help them Father God!  Send Your protecting angels, swift and mighty.  May Your grace, their fears relieve.

Confound and confuse their adversaries, those that seek to hurt and harm them, who outnumber them and come forcefully upon them.  Scatter these enemies.  Be instead, their strong habitation, we ask, once again.

Bring Your righteousness and salvation to rule and reign among them.  Help them to go on with courage and in the strength of the Lord.  You, Oh Lord, who do great and mighty works by Thy great power, rescue them.

May Your name be praised not only among Your people, but among their neighbors and others they meet because of what you do and have done on Your peoples' behalf.

Increase Your greatness among them and comfort them on every side.  May they sing praise again and again and so that their tongues will tell of Your righteouness all the day long, especially when those who seek to harm them are put to shame.

Get the last laugh Father, as through Your people, the terrorists are brought to their knees confessing the name of Jesus!  

It is our hope and would be to Your glory, honor and praise.  We ask all this in Your Son Jesus' name.  Amen.
