BLESSED be the Shem of Yahweh FOREVER – 9




Subject: David's Prayer in weakness







Psalm 41:13
Blessed be to Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen. 

Psalm 41 is one of David’s many prayers. 
  • Here we find the secret of David's strength in weaknesses. 
  • Yahweh delivers the weak in times of trouble. 
  • Yahweh protects and preserves the weak. 
  • Yahweh sustains the weak on their sick bed. 
  • Yahweh restores the weak from their bed of illness. 

Call on the Name of Yahweh
to have mercy on us to raise us up. (Psalm 41:4, 10)

  • Do not get discouraged when you are weak. 
  • Lately, I've been feeling very weak. 
  • Give thanks to God because I am now able to see myself clearly. 
  • It is when we perceive clearly our weaknesses that we passionately call out to God with a yearning heart. 
  • Our prayers are no longer apathetic. 
  • When God's deliverance comes, we become strong in His strength. 

David ends his prayer
with these words, "Blessed be to Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen" (Psalm 41:13).

In the previous articles, we have clearly seen that Psalm 72:19, 89:52, and 106:48 also end with this same special expression of blessing the Name of Yahweh at the close of their prayers.

Now, can you see how important the Name of God is to the Psalmists? 

Even to the end of their prayers, even when they are feeling weak in themselves, their concern is on the Name of Yahweh and to bless His Name!

How do you end your prayers to God?
