Wayne shared this in morning worship on Sunday and it has come up several times this week for various people so I thought I would share it with you.  May God give you a peace in knowing you can rest in Him and He will hear your prayers.  

Psalm 5 says:

1 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. 2 Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, for to You I will pray. 3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up 

4 For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You. 5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. 6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. 7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. 

8 Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face. 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue. 10 Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.  

11  But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. 12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.
