Psalm 138 – Answered Prayer
Key Verses: (NCV)
- 1: “Lord, I will thank you with all my heart.” – Regardless of the situations in life we face, the beginning of this psalm teaches how we are to approach God in prayer…filled with thanksgiving and praise.
- 2: “I will bow down facing your holy Temple, and I will thank you for your love and loyalty.” – God’s faithfulness is unwavering.
- 3: “On the day I called to you, you answered me. You made me strong and brave.” – It may be during times of great pain; we could be celebrating joy and happiness; or we could be fighting despair and loneliness. When we turn to God we find He is there and we are strengthened by His love.
- 6: “Though the Lord is supreme, He takes care of those who are humble, but He stays away from the proud.” – Prayers that evolve out of self-righteousness and self-centeredness will go unanswered.
- 8: “Lord, you do everything for me. Lord, your love continues forever. Do not leave us, whom you made.” – God, you have created us. You have brought us this far into your ministry. Don’t abandon us now when we need you the most.

Promise of the Gospel:
Gracious Lord: We come to you with songs of thanksgiving and praise. You have blessed our lives in amazing ways and yet, we forget. We forget that you have lifted us from our sinful lives and provided us with a gift of grace that surpasses all understanding. We forget that you have been with us always; that at each turn in our life you have been there to lift, comfort, guide, teach, and lead us into the pathways of your glory. We humbly pray that you give us the ability to set aside our pride so that we are capable of feeling your presence at all times. We ask that you take from us these struggles, worries and concerns that we tend to shoulder. Take them so that we can, once again, see your light, your truth, and, most importantly, your love. Through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
