"Elohim Ozer Li"

Psalm 54:4 "Surely God (Elohim) is my help (Ozer Li), the Lord is the One who sustains me."

I recently prayed that the Lord would sustain someone. I was trying to express to the Lord my concern for a friend that needed to keep going. They were wearing out and losing momentum. I prayed for the Lord to help them not to give up or give in. Though the verse talks about "my help" and "sustaining me", l applied it to someone else who desperately needed God to help them and sustain them. God, their Lord was the One they needed.

The reason l could pray that prayer with faith and confidence was because l know my Lord sustains me and He is the One l need to help me. Today do you need to pray for others what you have prayed for yourself? Or, is it the other way around... you need to pray for yourself what you pray for others. We can pray more effectively both ways.

With prayers for all,
Pastor Fred
