Psalm 79:8–9 - Do not hold us guilty

"Do not hold us guilty for the sins of our ancestors!
   Let your compassion quickly meet our needs,
for we are on the brink of despair.
   Help us, O God of our salvation!
Help us for the glory of your name.
   Save us and forgive our sins
for the honor of your name."
 
This plea asks that God would overlook the sins of his people and let his tenderhearted, merciful nature meet their needs. The psalmist is not afraid to ask that it be done quickly. The people needed help right now! What do you need right now? Don't be afraid to express your true situation to God and ask him to quickly meet your needs. It's in his compassionate and forgiving nature to do so.
