O LORD, SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: WEDNESDAY, 5 JULY 2023
In the depths of our souls, we often find ourselves wrestling with the turmoil of our own thoughts, desires, and weaknesses. We long for deliverance, yearning for an escape from the clutches of our own flaws and the burdens they impose upon us. It is in moments like these that we cry out, “Oh Lord, save me from myself.” When we come face to face with the truth of our human nature, recognizing our propensity for mistakes, temptations, and self-destructive patterns. It is in these moments of humility that we acknowledge our limitations and the need for divine intervention. Any wonder, the Psalmist lamented in Psalm 40:17; he said,
SCRIPTURE: “But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.” (Psalm 40:17 NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: The journey of faith is one that demands both introspection and surrender. So, beloved, do you find yourself entangled in the snares of your own shortcomings, and you don’t know what to do? Just remember that God stands ready to save you from yourself. All you need is to embrace the humbling journey of surrender and place your trust in God. He will guide you on the path of righteousness, illuminating the way and granting you the strength to overcome. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: When you find yourself entangled in the snares of your own shortcomings, and you don’t know what to do? Just remember that God stands ready to save you from yourself.
RESPONSIBILITY: Go to God in prayer, in humility ask Him to save you from yourself.
PRAYER: Gracious Lord, I come before You with a humble heart, acknowledging my weaknesses and the burdens I bear. I ask for Your divine intervention in my life, to save me from the destructive tendencies that hinder my spiritual growth, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As you humble yourself and acknowledge your limitations before God, may the Lord help your life and save you from yourself, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
