Psalms 65 is a prayer to open prosperity in one’s life. Jesus said, "I came so that you could live life more abundantly."

ENDURE is an awesome WORD...I hear it alot in my SPIRIT.VALLEYS of frustration and pain are inevitable.SEEKING JESUS in these times seem to be the hardest,until afterwards.VICTORY comes for me when i ENDURE,and not give in to trials awaiting.JESUS LOVES ME VERY MUCH

Thank you Pastor. It's amazing how God fights for his children at all times. Verse 5 of this chapter made it clear to us that God is the greatest caring parent that cares for his children. In the books of numbers chapter 22,God protected his people and that's what he does today. In case you have not accepted Jesus as your saviour, this is the chance to do so. You too will become one of his children. Amen.

"Iniquities prevail against me:" Like a violent storm upon the sea, iniquities can beat down upon us. Like a ship upon the sea, and seafarers on deck, a sudden, violent storm (iniquities - evil, perverseness, wickedness, unrighteousness...) can arise and blast against our soul. Insolent,they are. They come in opposition to our will. They stike and drive unrelentingly. Will the ship withstand? Will the seafarers be lost at sea?

What if the prayer "peace be still" renders no change in the storm. "How long, O Lord, how long?" becomes the souls thought. "Iniquities prevail against me" but they are not me. "For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God." ( Psalms 18:21) The word wickedly means to be wrong. When iniquities prevail against you, keep the way of the Lord; do not wickedly depart from God - do not be moved to become the wrong. Stand fast, if the waves go over your head, keep the way of the Lord, do not depart from truth. If the storm rages day and night and it seems to have no end, hold fast, for if you have to endure a long night,(this time on earth) the storm (the iniquities prevailing against you) cannot enter the kingdom of heaven! Continue; keep the ways of the LORD, do not wickedly depart from God.

God is good and does not do evil, yet in His Holiness (Righteousness)He does somethings that look humanly terrible.Example,killing is terrible, yet God killed the Egyptians for His people in righteousness. Because of His covenant, God can do anything to favour His own- "Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated".
