Plea for mercy from a faithless nation (Psalm 43)

O God, my God,

You are the eternal Judge. Your judgements are sure and trustworthy. Plead my cause against a godless and faithless nation.

Those who trust in You are become the targets of those who have seized control. You choose the leaders of a nation. Is our current leader Your judgement against the United States...which is no longer united?

They emand that we be silenced. It is not us they detest, but You. Defamation, jeering, rebellious slander are their daily offering. I plead our case before Your throne of grace.

• You are the God who strengthens; do not thrust us aside.
• Protect us from the pressure of the enemy that we may hold strong.
• Send Your light to shine brightly within us.
• You are Truth...pour out Your Truth upon us and through us.
• Guide us, O God of our salvation, that others may see Truth and find Your salvation to make it their own.

God of our salvation, have mercy on those who defy You. Aren't they tools of Your enemy? So many have been duped. They are being used to fight the battle against Truth, against You.

Rist up O God of Truth. Lead us to Your Holy mountain. Establish us before Your throne thatothers, who have been deceived, may see Truth, repent, and find life from You, the Giver of Life.

You are our joy and delight. You are the Way. Strengthen us to follow You. Open our ears to hear Your Word. Open our eyes to see the Way and walk in it. O God, my God, have pity on this nation and raise it up in the fulness of Your Light.

Raise up praise and glory to Yourself for the work You have performed. Use us, those whom You strengthen to serve and provlaim Your faithfulness. Set a song in our hearts and grant us an audience to proclaim that You are the only One True and Living God.

I put my hope in You alone and I will praise You through each day, for You are my Savior and my God.

Maranatha!
