Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: “Psalms 109:26′

Psalm 109 is a inspiring and encouraged lament of David as he cries out to God against his enemies. In verse 26, David affirms his trust in the Lord almighty, even in the midst of his distress. He acknowledges that it is God who saves and who is his source of strength. Despite the wickedness of his adversaries, David places his hope in the righteous character of God the Father, who will ultimately bring justice and vindication.

Some believe that Christians should pray imprecatory prayers against their enemies and ask the Lord almighty for justice and vindication, while others argue that invoking judgment on their enemies is inappropriate because we have been called to love our enemies and pray for those who mistreat us. Maintaining a biblical balance is important when it comes to ‘imprecatory’ prayers. While we are called to pray for the forgiveness and Salvation of our enemies, justice can also be requested from God.

It is important to approach this issue with reverence and caution, rather than taking it lightly. We should also acknowledge that there might be a moment to implore God to avenge a grievous injustice. However, we should approach such “imprecatory” prayers with divine wisdom, following God’s direction and for His ultimate glorification.

Let us pray:

Dear Lord almighty Heavenly Father, sometimes people do wrong to me, those who hate me without cause. But I know that You are a God of justice and mercy. Help me to trust in You always and to vindicate me and to forgive them that did wrong to me. I pray for their hearts to be softened and for them to turn to You in repentance. Help me to forgive them and to love them as You infinite loved me. May Your will be done in my life, for Your glory and honor forevermore. Thank you Lord almighty Heavenly Father. I pray this throughout the mighty glorious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty wonderful, dear infinite loving Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe and abundantly do receive, throughout His marvelous righteous Word and His truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
