Despite My Enemies

SCRIPTURE


Psalm 23:5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.

(NASB)


PRAYER

Lord, there are those who do not understand (__________)’s pain, who have not looked closely enough to see her heart-processes, and have chosen to judge and condemn her. Their expressions vary from subtle smirks to harbored anger, to wagging tongues. Their misunderstanding makes them enemies of sort because their posture works against the healing and health of (__________)’s soul. Lord, I ask that despite her enemies, you would prepare a generous meal for her soul regularly. I ask that you would anoint her head with oil to keep the irritating insects from hovering around her mind and thus distracting her from enjoying you. I ask that the oil of your love would cause healing in her soul. I pray that your generous touch in her heart would overflow with abundant grace, Lord. And I ask that she would enjoy all of this in the calm safety of your presence, even with the threat of her enemies occasionally lurking in the shadows. Make her whole Lord, and keep her in that peaceful comfort of your care. Amen.

ENCOURAGEMENT

Dear girl, it matters not what they think. It only matters that you have the smile and gentle care of your Shepherd. He loves you, indeed.

May she never be the same because of it. Amen.
