Hey everyone, this is Mary DeMuth and this is pray every day.

And as I'm praying this, the time is 1023.

And I don't know why, but that is just the time that I pray for a friend of mine that I've been praying for for a really long time for her to come to know Jesus.

And so it, I swear, almost every time I look at my phone, it is 1023, and I pray for my

friend. And so maybe you can join me to, that she would come to the Lord. There was a brief moment

in her teens when she, her eyes were a little bit opened. And so I'm praying as an adult,

she would meet Jesus.

All right.

Today I'm reading from Psalm 18, the first part, which is verse, let's see, one through 25 in the World English Bible.

And I'm going to read the description beforehand because I think that's important.

It says, for the chief musician by David, the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

And so this is what David said, verses 1 through 25. I love you, Yahweh, my strength.

Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.

My God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I call on Yahweh who is worthy to be praised, and I am safe my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I call on Yahweh who is worthy to be praised,

and I am saved from my enemies.

The cords of death surrounded me.

The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

The cords of shale were around me.

The snares of death came on me. In my distress, I called on Yahweh, and he cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken because he was

angry. Smoke went out of his nostrils, consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coles were kindled by it.
