My God, Thank You For Being Ready To Help Me

May 15 Scripture Meditations Based on Psalms 69-72 Key Verse – Psalm 70:5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR BEING READY TO HELP ME Thank You for being ready to help me against sinking in sins’ deep mire For never letting my soul to suffer in hell’s fire Because You love me with Your compassion that does not tire Despite my lack of holiness that You require and desire. Thank You for being ready to help me against thriving submission-reluctance For never hurting my heart that’s earnest to show repentance Because You care for me midst fellowship’s intimacy, not from a distance Despite my frustration over absence of faith’s substance. Thank You for being ready to help me against wearying foolishness For never turning my seeking toward Your wisdom’s purposiveness Because You teach me by Your scriptural instruction-effectiveness Despite my unbelief’s stubbornness midst ignorance-perilousness. Thank You for being ready to help me against overflowing hardship For never undermining my prayer in my service-stewardship Because You uphold me in Your offered labor-partnership Despite my inconsistency in surrendering to Your workmanship. Thank You for being ready to help me against confounding reproaches For never insulting my sincerity with condemning searches Because You regard me and my frailty-crutches Despite my pride of vain hunches along blinking selfishness-torches. Thank You for being ready to help me against attacking adversaries For never pushing my choices into destruction-set territories Because You guard me by Your protective miracles’ mysteries Despite my doubts’ vexations and needfulness’ worries.
