I pray to God in the time of His favor.
Your great love answers me with your sure salvation in Christ Jesus.
You rescue me from the mire of sins,
Not let me sink, but deliver me in your great mercy.
You come near and rescue me,
And redeem me from my accuser.
You look for me with sympathy,
You protect me from my foes,
And assign me to stand in the gate of intercession,
Instead of sending me to the battle field in front,
So I humbly come alongside to pray for the needy,
Rather than priding over them to fix problem.
So I see your glory,
not through my works to puff ego and fall into the pit of pride,
But through the spirit to support other saints to do their works.
You build me up and settle me in your kingdom,
I and my children and their descendants shall inert and dwell in it.
(Psalm 69)
