Psalm 109:21-29
But You, O GOD my Lord, deal on my behalf for Your name’s sake; because Your steadfast love is good, deliver me! For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me. I am gone like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust. My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt, with no fat. I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads. Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to Your steadfast love! Let them know that this is Your hand; You, O LORD, have done it! Let them curse, but You will bless! They arise and are put to shame, but Your servant will be glad! May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak!
Lord, the only sure way to proceed is through the power of the Holy Spirit; not in my strength but in yours. Fill me with Your wisdom, strength and power to stand against the onslaught of these curses as I see them revealed in myself and others. Help me, Lord to lift these curses up in prayer to You and not to address them on my own but through You.
