Psalms 36- "The wicked flatter themselves". The evil wicked people on the world worship themselves and not God, them type of people are not happy with themselves and try to get attention by thinking they don't need God. Light makes light meaning God's generosity towards others is extravagant compared to the "self-important" wicked evil people.

Psalms 37- "The evildoers will fade like grass." They will die away from everyone and hopefully will come to find God who has been missing in their life. The success of the wicked will not last long, they will soon come to find God.

Psalms 38- "Your arrows have pierced me!" He has sinned and can't handle like the stress of it. His guilt overwhelms him because he is worried about what he has done. "My strength fails me." He has sin on his shoulders. We talked a few weeks ago on a Wednesday about 'baggage'. Which is so much stress and sin that you are bringing your self esteem down.

Psalms 39- this is not a very happy Psalm. It is about wrestling with God. This is trying to get the point across about suffering, and failing. They ask God for help and don't get any. Your hope is in God.

Psalms 40- He waited patiently for the Lord. He soon received help from the Lord for all of his wrong doings. God raised him from his slump and his heart fails him but he the Lord is his help.

Psalms 41- The psalmist were sick. God heals the weak and the sick. God shows mercy to all and helps when they are in need of healing or whatever it is he will take care of it! The Lord has upheld him from his enemies and shirked him from the evil and wicked.

36- They are terrible people who think that they do not have to fear God because he has no power over them or is not there. These people are stupid the truth slapped them in the face and they do nothing. Do not wait that is one of the devils most effective tricks he tells you "do what you want you can always go back to God later." Then you forget to go back to God and it destroys you the sin spreads everywhere then pretty soon time is up. Then you act like Eve on judgement day and blame it on satin. Please do not wait this life is short!

37- Honestly one of my struggles is that I look at the wicked and envy the temporary sinful things they have. Sinful things look applying but they will destroy you and become unpleasant. If you commit to God there may be a little pain at first but later you will be rewarded with eternal gifts. Resist the temptation it's worth it. Ignore evil people and don't worry about their lives.
Don't get angry you'll do things you'll regret go home wait a day then you will probably be less likely to do something stupid. People try to become more powerful than God. God looks at these people and is amused they have no chance.
Be generous and God will be protection over you. EVIL WILL NOT LAST BUT THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE FOREVER!!

38- The Lord will not abandon us he is always there even to the point of collapse. Even in the darkest days when there is no hope he remembers us.

39- When we are on our own the temptation is so strong! I love 4-5 do not take a brake God is always watching. Things of this world are not worth much so don't horde them.

sorry don't have enuh

36- Like what you said there Emma about wicked flatter themselves and its true- they are more concerned about them and their own endeavors where as Christians we should be more about Gods.
They have no fear God and don't know how wicked they really know how bad they are. I always find it amazing that "bad" people don't know how bad they are really acting they think its ok and not that bad
All humanity can find shelter in you and we should as well

37-agree with emma again and like that line and just how evil really doesn't last long- When we trust in him he will keep us safe and taking delight in him he will give us your hearts desires- which we have to be careful on the desires. I know for sure that at your guys age that I didn't commit everything to the Lord and think that Im doing better now. I think its hard to to not worry about evil people who prosper
I think v8 can sometimes hit me and I know that Im not angry a lot but can get there

v23-24 might be my favorite i have read in psalms maybe tough challenge though

38- My guilt overwhelms me to heavy to bear and thats when we have to lift it up to the Lord. Its amazing that even a small sin can wind up destroying you even more than you thought as you say then we let it weigh us down in others areas thinking we aren't worthy enough and we tear ourselves down.

39-v1 is so tough and yes its like a mind battle that I have at times and trying to struggle with God. Its like that back and forth talk I have in my mind at times.

40-He lifts us out of what we need when we wait for him just sometimes we don't wait for him or his perfect timing. God you have done so much for us and your plans and rewards to too much for us to recall and we still take granted and often times over look. I wish i could be that thankful towards God- I know that I wouldn't be able to think of that many thankful things or the times that God has helped me

I do take joy in following the lord that is True and when i feel best!!!

41-Pouring out his heart for those that are "less fortune" is how i look at it the poor sick needy and everything and how we are supposed to treat them and take care of them. think v9 most of us can look at sometime in that our best friend has turned against us and how bad that hurts.
