VERSE:
    The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them
from all their troubles.
     -- Psalm 34:17

THOUGHT:
    Deliverance! A great theme of the Bible is that God is a God of
deliverance who keeps his promises and faithfully shares his grace,
mercy, and justice. Let this promise stir you to righteous living
and to cry out to God in all your troubles. One way to do this is
to read through the Psalms regularly, letting these inspired words
from so long ago offer a rich topography of prayer from which you
can call to God. Whether you use the Psalms or not, however, cry
out to God with the praises, questions, and wounds that life
brings. Let his presence be real to you and your heart open to him.

PRAYER:
    Father, our world needs your deliverance. In your majesty and
power, please destroy the plans of the wicked. In your mercy and
grace, please raise up your people who find themselves facing
hardship and trouble. In Jesus' name. Amen.
