My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
    Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
    Their tongues are filled with flattery.[a]
10 O God, declare them guilty.
    Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive them away because of their many sins,
    for they have rebelled against you. Psalm 5: 9-10

In light of your meditation from last night how does God want you to pray for your enemies and for yourself?

My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
    Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
    Their tongues are filled with flattery.[a]
10 O God, declare them guilty.
    Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive them away because of their many sins,
    for they have rebelled against you. Psalm 5:9-10

Do you have any enemies? What makes them enemies? Does God declare them guilty or just you?

O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness;
    you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.
Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence,
    for you hate all who do evil.
You will destroy those who tell lies.
    The Lord detests murderers and deceivers. Psalm 5:4-5

How do you see God’s intolerance for wickedness played out in real life?

Mid Afternoon Meditation 5-28-16

Many people say, “Who will show us better times?”
    Let your face smile on us, Lord.
You have given me greater joy
    than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
    for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. Psalm 4:6-8

How often do you find yourself turning to other sources than God to give you better times? How can you better fix your focus on Him for your stability?
