PSALM 17
1 Hear me, Lord, my plea is just;
listen to my cry.
Hear my prayer—
it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from you;
may your eyes see what is right.

3 Though you probe my heart,
though you examine me at night and test me,
you will find that I have planned no evil;
my mouth has not transgressed.
4 Though people tried to bribe me,
I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
through what your lips have commanded.
5 My steps have held to your paths;
my feet have not stumbled.

6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;
turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
7 Show me the wonders of your great love,
you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.

10 They close up their callous hearts,
and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,
with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion hungry for prey,
like a fierce lion crouching in cover.

13 Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down;
with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
from those of this world whose reward is in this life.
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their
bellies;
may their children gorge themselves on it,
and may there be leftovers for their little ones.

15 As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your
likeness.

PRAYER
Holy God you have called us to be your people. We often struggle, stumble, and turn away according to our own will. Help each one of us realize and admit our sin. Your Grace gives us a new chance through Jesus to be forgiven and start over again. Let your Spirit renew us to guide us to live a more genuine faith.

We thank you for providing Donald Trump to be president at this time for our nation. Give him wisdom with the ability to stand against the powerful corruption of our media, government and ‘deep state.’ Provide the way for him to avoid all political traps created to sabotage his administration. Continue to let the truth be transparent to all while revealing the false allegations made against him. Instead, let those responsible be trapped in their own vicious plots and brought to justice. Protect and sustain both President Trump and Vice and President Pence physically, mentally and spiritually. Also, we ask to protect their families and those in government leadership.

We are grateful and praise you for hearing our needs and answering our prayer, as we pray in Jesus name. Amen.

SCRIPTURE
“So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”
Matthew 10:26-39 (NIV)
