overwhelmed, by stress or blessings.

I waited patiently for the lord to help me,
and he turned to me and heard my cry.
2He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
3He has given me a new song to sing,
a hymn of praise to our God.

Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and 6my God!
Now I am deeply discouraged,
but I will remember you—

Lord God,
I am bound by my sin nature, I need your deliverance to release me to experience a glory filled life, filled with your glory. So full I can hardly stand it. Lord separate me from my bindings, release me to reveal your glory to my family and the world around me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Oh how I desire to be Good.

1Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.
They have no fear of God at all.
2In their blind conceit,
they cannot see how wicked they really are.
3Everything they say is crooked and deceitful.
They refuse to act wisely or do good.
4They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.
Their actions are never good.
They make no attempt to turn from evil.

0The godly offer good counsel;
they teach right from wrong.
31They have made God’s law their own,
so they will never slip from his path.

Lord God,
I pray that I may be Godly in all I do, Make your law mine, Keep me on the path you intend for me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Wow what a Love He has for me.

Yes, what joy for those
whose record the lord has cleared of guilt,
whose lives are lived in complete honesty!

Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the lord.”
And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

Let your unfailing love surround us, lord,
for our hope is in you alone.

Oh Lord,
The fact that you find me worthy to be forgiven is unbelievable, I wish to live in complete honesty. Remove the thoughts that cause me to sin and replace them with your Truth. I delight in spending my time in your unfailing Love.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Do I build my life on the correct foundation?

But I am not like that; I live with integrity.
So redeem me and show me mercy.
12Now I stand on solid ground,
and I will publicly praise the lord.

The lord gives his people strength.
The lord blesses them with peace.

Hear me, lord, and have mercy on me.
Help me, O lord.”

I need to actually stand on the Lord, make Him my foundation. He will give me strength and peace.

Lord God, How awesome it is to be able to grow in a relationship with you that will release me from my sinful nature. Protect me, use me against myself to release me from bondage of my way so I may completely surrender to your way in me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

so simple yet so hard

The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.
8You will capture all your enemies.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the lord
forever.

He leads the humble in doing right,
teaching them his way.

For the honor of your name, O lord,
forgive my many, many sins.

21May integrity and honesty protect me,
for I put my hope in you.

Lord God, you show us such a glory filled path is before us, expose the areas of my life I have yet to surrender to. In your son’s most holy name,
Amen

God is right after all!

The commandments of the lord are right,
bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the lord are clear,
giving insight for living.
9Reverence for the lord is pure,
lasting forever.

Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
but we boast in the name of the lord our God.
8Those nations will fall down and collapse,
but we will rise up and stand firm.
9Give victory to our king, O lord!
Answer our cry for help.

Lord God, may I surrender to your will and be free of my past. May I live with your desire on my heart now and forever.
In Jesus name,
Amen

To rest in the presence of the Lord.

Therefore, lord, we know you will protect the oppressed,
preserving them forever from this lying generation,
8even though the wicked strut about,
and evil is praised throughout the land.

6The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed,
but the lord will protect his people.

You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.

He formed my spirit

“This message is from the lord, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the human spirit.

Ever since the days of your ancestors, you have scorned my decrees and failed to obey them. Now return to me, and I will return to you,” says the lord of Heaven’s Armies.

“You have said, ‘What’s the use of serving God? What have we gained by obeying his commands or by trying to show the lord of Heaven’s Armies that we are sorry for our sins? 15From now on we will call the arrogant blessed. For those who do evil get rich, and those who dare God to punish them suffer no harm.’”

Lord God,
You formed my spirit, placed me where you want me. I rebelled so hard for so long, now I wish to live completely under your authority, not making decisions on my own but under your council. Allow me to see you in all things before me today, May I delight in searching for your desire for me today. The fact that you forgive and forget my past is ridiculous. Thank you Lord for never giving up on me, Use me for your will today.
In Jesus name,
Amen
