03.05.10 “The Song of Hope”
Scripture Reading: Psalm 20:1-9
1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.9 O LORD, save the king! Answer us when we call!

- To trust someone is to believe that they have your best interests at heart. How would you describe the level of “trust” you have in God? In what ways has your trust in God developed or diminished?
- If growing in trust and faith was one of your goals for the next year, what barriers in your heart and life might you need to address?
Weekly Prayer
Lord, we remember your invitation to bring to you those burdens we find difficult to bear. In our time of trial, we too have asked that you might allow the cup of suffering to pass from us. Give us the courage God to confess to you our need and the faith and wisdom to trust in your will.

The podcasts have exceeded my expectations (which were high)! The dialogue is stimulating, informative and enjoyable. I love turning on my computer in anticipation of GPS. This approach/format has made Bible study even more exciting and rewarding.
Thank you
