[An Evening Prayer for Help] For the Pure and Shining One For the end, a melody by King David. God, you are my righteousness, my champion defender. Answer me when I cry for help! Whenever I was in distress, you enlarged me. I’m being squeezed again—I need your kindness right away! Grant me your grace, hear my prayer, and set me free"! Psalm 4:1 (TPT)

Here is a prayer, a heart’s cry, to keep close by,  for whenever you need help, God is there. He is your Champion Defender when you are in distress—He is the One who fights for you until you are free. Giants are brought low in His presence and you in turn are lifted high. 

Torment is ushered out and freedom is welcomed in. Grace unlimited overflows and all that wants to overwhelm you is transformed into the very thing that becomes your liberty. His mighty miracles in your midst, transforms, renews, restores, moulds, shapes, and fashions you into all you are meant to be! 

Don’t worry, precious child, how it can be so. Just remember that He loves you, His kindness never ends, and without fail, He comes to the rescue when you call.

Prayer:

I have walked some lonely roads, Lord, as You well know, looking and longing for help that never came. And here is Your promise, so different from all of that—You are here. You are kind. And You are good.

I know now Lord that You always hear my prayers. Your desire is for me to be free in every area of my life, and to be all the You created me to be. 

Come now, Lord Jesus, in every area of need, in every place or pressure, and set me free.

I look to You Lord, with a grateful and longing heart,  and I wait.

In the beauty of Your powerful Name, I pray.
