Voices Together is taken from my daily meditations, primarily on the Psalms. However, from time to time, I will include a meditation on the practical implications of the Law as I seek to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy! Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and I moan, because of the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me.
This is certainly a time of trouble, Lord, as we wrestle with the challenges of ministering to ex-inmates and acting as in loco parentis to one of them. We know that You have called us to this and that in part to train us as Your disciples. Therefore, give us strength to press on, and wisdom in dealing with the problems and the willingness to turn to You for direction is all aspects. We have so much to learn.
