The Psalmist tells us in 120 that when we call to the Lord He answers in our distress. Also when we ask for lying tongue to be removed He does that whether it's our own we are battling or others around us. He has the power to both overcome personally and deliver us from our oppressors. Ask and He will save you.
In Psalm 121 we see the Lord being our help when we lift our eyes to the hills. Put your eyes on Him and He will not let you slip. 5 The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Do you ask for help with the little things?
Psalm 122:1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." We are to rejoice and go into God's house. Bring someone with you and both of you will be glad you did. Then we see prayer for the city of God and for peace security for His people. When is the last time you prayed for your town and the people in it? I believe prayer is the foundation of the work of God. As we connect closely to Him, He prompts us to pray for the things He is concerned with and the people who are crying out to Him. Pray for them and see what God does next.
In 2 Corinthians 6 we are asked not to receive God's grace in vain. A great price has been paid by many to praise His name and follow Him publicly. Many have given their lives to translate His word into our language and be able to give it to another person without fear. Do whatever you have to do to tell others about our Lord and you will see Him work in an incredible way through your life. As we love God and love His people we will see what He does to empower us to follow Him in that task.
It also talks about being unequally yoked with unbelievers. When we marry or partner with an unbeliever we many times are doing that under our own direction and not the Lord's. We must make sure our endeavors are with like-minded people. How are we going to do that? We are to pray seeking God's direction above our own selfish desires. If you are already in a relationship or married to a non-believer, pray for God's guidance there that you can be a light and an example not by what you say, but how you live your life. A famous person said the greatest sermon is not preached but is a life lived out through faith.
