Psalm
62 recognizes something very important.
It recognizes that humans are going to let us down. “For all of sinned and come short of the
glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). I just watched the movie, War Room. I would encourage everyone to see it. In the movie a mighty prayer warrior points
out to a woman whose life is in shambles that she can’t fix it. She points out that she must stop trying to
fight the battle and she tells her that the only place she can fight those
battles of her life is in the prayer room.
In other words, you must give your battles over to God and let God fight
them. It’s so easy to pick those battles
back up. We get impatient. We don’t like the answers we are
hearing. We think there must be a
quicker and easier way and we try to solve it on our own. All that brings is more pain and sorrow. We must trust God with our lives. As the psalmist points out God is the place
where we find rest. It is in God that we
must find our strength. Pray this prayer of Psalm 62 today. Let go.
Trust God.
Only in God do I find rest;
my salvation comes from him.
2 Only God is my rock and my salvation—
my stronghold!—I won’t be shaken anymore.
my salvation comes from him.
2 Only God is my rock and my salvation—
my stronghold!—I won’t be shaken anymore.
3 How long
will all of you attack others;
how long will you tear them down
as if they were leaning walls or broken-down fences?
4 The only desire of this people
is to bring others down low;
they delight in deception.
With their mouths they bless,
but inside they are cursing. Selah

5 Oh, I
must find rest in God only,
because my hope comes from him!
6 Only God is my rock and my salvation—
my stronghold!—I will not be shaken.
7 My deliverance and glory depend on God.
God is my strong rock.
My refuge is in God.
8 All you people: Trust in him at all times!
Pour out your hearts before him!
God is our refuge! Selah
because my hope comes from him!

9 Human
beings are nothing but a breath.
Human beings are nothing but lies.
They don’t even register on a scale;
taken all together they are lighter than a breath!
10 Don’t trust in violence;
don’t set false hopes in robbery.
When wealth bears fruit,
don’t set your heart on it.
11 God has spoken one thing—
make it two things—
that I myself have heard:
that strength belongs to God,
12 and faithful love comes from you, my Lord—
and that you will repay
everyone according to their deeds.[1]
