Theme Receiving God’s point of view clarifies scripture and makes prayer proper & meaningful.

Imprecatory Psalms Contained within the Book of Psalms, are those that invoke judgment, calamity, or curses upon 1)…one's enemies or 2)…those perceived as the enemies of God.

Psalm 5:1-3, A Psalm of David Give ear to my words O Lord Consider my meditation Harken unto the voice of my cry My King and my God For unto Thee will I pray My voice shalt Thou hear In the morning O Lord in the morning Will I direct my prayer Unto Thee and will look up

If You Are Facing A Difficult Thing…

A. Pray To God About It 1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. 2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. 3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

B. Pray From God’s Point Of View 4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. 5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. 6 You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.

C. Pray With A Well-Prepared Heart 7 But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down towards your holy temple. 8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies-- make straight your way before me.

D. Pray The Answer and/or Truth God Gives 9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. 10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

E. Pray Knowing The Answer Will Be A Call To Action 11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
