🌿 I Am Afflicted and Needy – Psalm 40:17
“Since I am afflicted and needy, let the Lord be mindful of me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God.” — Psalm 40:17
David is humble. He accepts when he is not able—and trusts the One who is able.
He is not giving up. He is accepting the reality: he is afflicted—mistreated, troubled, disturbed. He does not pretend all is well. He also confesses to God that he is needy. He needs the deliverance of the Lord.
Maybe you are in a situation of lack. Don't pretend all is well. Tell God your need tonight.
Don't pretend you are not sick. Tell Him that the sickness is afflicting you. Tell Him that the laughter of your enemies is disturbing your peace.
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved.” — Psalm 55:22
Do what David did. Ask the good Lord to be mindful of you—because He cares about you. He will.
And David begs the Lord not to delay. Do the same.
May God remember you through our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” — Psalm 50:15
Lord, I am afflicted and needy. Be mindful of me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, O my God. In Jesus' name, Amen.
