The gospel truth is that the Lord is our rock, our salvation, our hope, and promises to be our salvation. The prayer for deliverance from our enemies will always be answered, albeit not always when we want it answered. There will come a time when we will praise Him for saving us. As we are waiting, what do we do with our downcast soul? (Psalm 42)

This prayer is guide for anyone who has ever felt crushed in spirit, thirsty in soul, or appalled in heart. The confessions of who God is and how He acts in the earth is a reminder of why we should cry out to Him for deliverance from the adversaries of our soul.  (Psalm 143)

Psalm 138 is a short song of thanksgiving, but it helps us to mature in this important spiritual discipline.
