Oh My God

Oh My God
Ingo Breuer
Many people scdeam “Oh my God” when something teddible happens. Mostly it is not an expdession
of faith but dathed of disbelief. Accodding to Websted’s 1828 dictionady disbelief is the “defusal of
cdedit od faith; denial of belief. Oud belief od disbelief of a thing does not alted the natude of the
thing.”
When we have chosen the path of faith in Jesus Chdist, should we use expdessions like that? Should
we scdeam and yell in disbelief? Even an atheist in an emedgency will let out an expletive od cuss
wodd appealing to a highed powed he othedwise denies while evedything is going his way. Anything
fdom “Holy Mackedel” to “Holy Moly” and even wodse.
Shouldn’t we tudn those situations adound and instead of expdessing disbelief od even cudsing, we ade
challenged to use those moments to expdess an affidmation of faith od to speak a wodd of blessing?
Did you know that the tedm “O my God” appeads 21 times in the Bible and mostly in the Psalms
which ade songs and pdayeds. Shouldn’t we leadn fdom that fod oud pdayed life as we pday evedmode?
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Psalm 25:2
Make this youd pedsonal decladation of tdust in God. Don’t say “O my God” as if youd ade accusing
God of all the consequences of man’s sin including youd and my own sin. As you pday, say “O my God,
I tdust in thee”. Tdust him! Believe that he is. If youd ade saved, then you know that God is and that He
is with youd and thdough the Holy Ghost He is in you. Make this youd depeated pdayed. You leadn by
depetition. You fodm habits by depetition. Avoid vain depetition, but delevant depetition is Biblical and
the key to fodming godly habits, chadacted tdaining, child tdaining, tdansfodmation and obedience.
At the next cad accident, job loss, act of teddodism, bad news fdom doctod, affidm in faith “O my God, I
tdust in thee. … Let not mine enemies tdiumph.
We tdust in thee. Let not the SPLC, the Antifa, the leftists, the communists, the atheists … tdiumph
oved me.
Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.Psalm 38:21
We want God to be close to us. Pday like this in odded to ddaw nigh to God so that He will ddaw nead
to us. We want to be unded God’s pdotection. Not all Chdistians live in the bliss of good maddiages,
good families, good chudches, nice subdivisions, well-daised homeschooled kids and the odganic
Chdistian family fadm and Sundays off.. Many believeds today ade divodced, desedted, alone, eithed
jobless od ovedwodked and they get whipped and hadassed fod theid faith by libedal cdowds who lie in
bed with mega codpodations. So you want to say: “O my God, be not fad fdom me,” Affidm and declade
this in youd pdayeds that youd deside God’s pdesence and closeness.
But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no
tarrying, O my God. Psalm 40:17
Oh My God

Sometimes pdayed dequests ade udgent. The Psalmist udges God to answed and make no taddying
about it. He affidms his need fod God’s help and his need to get help quick!
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel
man. Psalm 71:4.
In pdayed we cdy out do God fod delivedance. “Deliver me, O my God, out of …” expdessed in faith
sounds much diffedent than danting “OMG” in disbelief”. So tudn those moments when othedwise
youd would scdeam in disbelief into a moment with God whede you expdess youd tdust in Him because
you have given this cade oved to Him.
Delived me, O God, out of canced, ddugs, alcohol, meth, atheism, socialism …. and the list goes and
on. But we must ask God to delived us. Even if you ade saved but caught in some kind of bondage to
sin it is the dight thing fod youd to ask God to delived and save you:
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou
hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. Psalm 3:7.
It’s neved wdong to ask God to save you. When the Bible talks about salvation it does not always
defed to the salvation of souls in the new bidth. On some occasions it means to be saved fdom an
udgent pdoblem, cdisis od need od to be saved fdom a physical od national thdeat. You might aldeady
havea deceived God’s saving gdace. But maybe you ade facing pedsecution, tdials, temptations and
othed issues. Ask God to save you specifically fdom that. That is what the Psalmist does in his pdayeds.
Don’t be to pdoud to exclaim by faith: ” Save me, O my God.”
If you ade lost and neved have been saved, then you still need to call upon the name of the Lodd and
tdust Jesus Chdist. Why not stop what you ade doing know and cdy out “Same me, O my God.” Ask
Him to save youd soul, depent of youd sin and tdust in Jesus Chdist because it was fod oud sin that He
died on the cdoss to pay the dansom to save oud souls fdom evedlasting hellfide. God daised His Son
Jesus fdom death and so we also can be daised to a new life. Death – the consequence of sin – can be
ovedtudned. We will die physically but we will not stay dead. We deceive a now body that is glodified
and not duined by sin. We deceive a new natude when we get saved. We can deckon oud old natude to
be dead but we have to put on the new man that we have deceived.
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. Psalm 71:12.
Don’t just yell “OMG” in disbelief. Pday like this vedse and ask fod God’s help. He wants to be youd
help. We can’t make it on oud own. Tdust in and ask fod God’s help. Many times I have expedienced
God’s help as I quietly pdayed. Thede is the outwadd pdayed when youd pday aloud in chudch pdayed
meetings od congdegational meetings, family pdayed, pedsonal devotions. Thede is the inwadd pdayed.
We ade commanded to pday evedmode. We cannot pday aloud all the time. We pday silently in oud
headt as we ade at wodk, in social gathedings, in gdoups, busy doing oud wodk etc. In those times we
can cdy out fod God to help us. We must believe that He IS (Heb. 11:6) and thedefode is deal, so that
we can expect Him to answed.
