Teach me your ways, O lord,
that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me purity of heart,
so that I may honor you.

Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love,
so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.

And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful!

They are a people whose hearts turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.’
11So in my anger I took an oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”

Oh Lord, I am tired and weary of my ways. I am so tired of attempting my way. Lord God remove me and my way from this soul and reveal in me only your desire for me. Allow me to see only your desire and path before me today.

Turn us again to yourself, O lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.

So I let them follow their own stubborn desires,
living according to their own ideas.
13Oh, that my people would listen to me!
Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths!
14How quickly I would then subdue their enemies!
How soon my hands would be upon their foes!

Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies?
Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
3They devise crafty schemes against your people;
they conspire against your precious ones.

So he ended their lives in failure,
their years in terror.
34When God began killing them,
they finally sought him.
They repented and took God seriously.
35Then they remembered that God was their rock,
that God Most High was their redeemer.
36But all they gave him was lip service;
they lied to him with their tongues.
37Their hearts were not loyal to him.
They did not keep his covenant.
38Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins

How is it possible that God is so merciful.

Thank you Lord for never giving up on me. In my past life was all about me, now Lord it is all about you. Thank you for opening my eyes to your truth.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Then I realized that my heart was bitter,
and I was all torn up inside.
22I was so foolish and ignorant—
I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.
23Yet I still belong to you;
you hold my right hand.
24You guide me with your counsel,
leading me to a glorious destiny.

Why do I focus so much on others and how the wicked are better off than me. I have the Glory of God burning in me, that is enough what else do I need.

Lord God,
Help me to focus on you with every part of my being. Allow your Glory to meet my every need. Reveal false needs I hold onto.
In Jesus name,
Amen

0Human defiance only enhances your glory,
for you use it as a weapon.

Make vows to the lord your God, and keep them.
Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.
12For he breaks the pride of princes,
and the kings of the earth fear him.

Your road led through the sea,
your pathway through the mighty waters—
a pathway no one knew was there!

Lord God,
May I submit to following your path , May I submit to your authority to lead me. I have worked out how to fix my life and be worthy but It is still my way. May I defy my way and surrender my all and only follow you in ways I never imagined.
In Jesus name,
Amen

But as for me, I am poor and needy;
please hurry to my aid, O God.
You are my helper and my savior;
O lord, do not delay.

But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

Lord God, I still don’t trust you to heal me of my sin, Help me to put your thoughts before mine and surrender all of my will to your desire for me. I cannot do this life on my own, I need you to correct my path.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings
to fulfill the vows I made to you—
14yes, the sacred vows that I made
when I was in deep trouble.

Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.

When I live in a spirit of intentional living for the Lord, I am filled with Joy as I do everything both easy and hard. So why do I have to rededicate myself every morning to have that Joy.

Lord God, in my daily surrender humble my heart to understand you wish to be in total control of my spirit. Help me to seek you in my all, not just when I need your help.
In Jesus name,
Amen

You have been very hard on us,
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
a rallying point in the face of attack.

Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
12With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.

They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their bitter words like arrows.

But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,
suddenly striking them down.
8Their own tongues will ruin them,
and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

I am under attack, attack from myself, evil around me and Satan directly. Only with the Lord’s power may I make a stand and move forward and win this battle.

Lord God, give me power over the areas of my life that lead to a compromise of your will for me.

Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.
3For I recognize my rebellion;
it haunts me day and night.
4Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;

2Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.
13Then I will teach your ways to rebels,
and they will return to you.

Lord God, May I put my focus on you, may I please you. You are the absolute truth I need in me. For when I live by your laws I am free to do anything. Your Laws are simple, I make them difficult.

In Jesus name,
Amen

But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me.
If you keep to my path,
I will reveal to you the salvation of God.”

Lord God,
I pray for removal of self and that I may follow you more directly in my days
In Jesus name,
Amen
