Then his people believed his promises.
Then they sang his praise.
13Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done!
They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!
14In the wilderness their desires ran wild,
testing God’s patience in that dry wasteland.

The people refused to enter the pleasant land,
for they wouldn’t believe his promise to care for them.
25Instead, they grumbled in their tents
and refused to obey the Lord.

Lord God,
May I live in your glory, not in my desires. May I be patient and wait for your council and not do things on my own today. May I live wholeheartedly for you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Let all that I am praise the lord.
O lord my God, how great you are!

I will sing to the lord as long as I live.
I will praise my God to my last breath!
34May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the lord.

Lord God,
You are awesome in all you created, who am I that you made me and love me so much to make a way for me to be with you. May all my thoughts and actions please you this day.

In Jesus name,
Amen

So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the lord. He failed to obey the lord’s command, and he even consulted a medium

May I be faithful to you alone, Lord God, strip me of my unfaithfulness and forgive me of my sin. I have been unfaithful and put my ways before yours, give me the power to release me from my past sin and live today with you, may I delight you with my faith today.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“But no, my people wouldn’t listen.
Israel did not want me around.
12So 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!

Your royal laws cannot be changed.

Lord God,
I am tired of living by my ideas, I surrender to your desire. Give me the power I need to overcome my way and walk with you. I thank you Lord for my freedom, I now freely choose you and want to only follow you. Your law is truth, may I live in your truth.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Then I realized that my heart was bitter,
and I was all torn up inside.

But in spite of this, the people kept sinning.
Despite his wonders, they refused to trust him.

Lord God,
I ask you to take my nature from me, my sinful nature and protect me from my past. Lord God, may I follow you without the rebellious spirit of my past, may I wholeheartedly open myself up to your council and not stray from your path you put before me before my birth. May I simply delight in your way and not the way of this world or my desire.
In Jesus name,
Amen

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 my God!

You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies;

Change my heart to call on you for everything in my life, I surrender to your wisdom and am sorry for my past where I thought I was in charge. Lord God allow me to delight you in all things this day and bring your purpose to this world thru my surrender to your will.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Heal me, lord, for my bones are in agony.
3I am sick at heart.
How long, O lord, until you restore me?

The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.

Lord God,
I have known you from the beginning, I have felt your presence but turned my back on your way. Lord God heal me from the decisions of the past and restore me to the truth of this moment with you. Your way is peaceful and true, help me to remove my sinful nature and in this moment whole with your desire on my heart. May your love protect me and keep me from sin.

In Jesus name,
Amen

How I weep for you, my brother Jonathan!
Oh, how much I loved you!
And your love for me was deep,
deeper than the love of women!

Lord God,
How you love me, the unconditional love you are. May I learn to remove the conditions from my love for you, my family and your world. Help me to accept this world as you made it and not try to change it to match my will but to change my will to match yours.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

Restore me to Holy as you have created me to be. Help me find the strength of your redemption and place my whole life in your care.

Amen

O lord, hear my plea for justice.
Listen to my cry for help.
Pay attention to my prayer,
for it comes from honest lips.

Guard me as you would guard your own eyes.
Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

Lord God,
Satan attacks from all directions, protect me from his attack. Grant me power over my actions that are not of you and deliver me into your path, not my own. Make me new, take me out of the past and deliver me into this moment, pure and new. May I please you in all things. Guard me and keep my from straying.

In Jesus name,
Amen
