Pure in thought

Let all that I am praise the Lord;with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.

He has removed our sins as far from usas the east is from the west.

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 my Father,

May I be overflowing with praise, cleanse me and remove the darkness. Protect my thoughts and help me stay on your path.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Single God, His truth

So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He failed to obey the Lord’s command, and he even consulted a medium 14instead of asking the Lord for guidance. So the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.

Lord God my Father,

May I be faithful to you. Lord I ask you reveal the false beliefs I hold onto and give me your power to overcome them and set all my will on your truth. Help me to only listen to you and block Satan’s influence.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His prize

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,to sing praises to the Most High.2It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,your faithfulness in the evening,

Lord God my Father,

I am so grateful for your way. You show me such beauty in the morning sun till the night sky overwhelms me. You are beyond my ability to understand and yes you choose to bless me. Thank you lord for this life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To see only Him

Psalms 73

A psalm of Asaph.1Truly God is good to Israel,to those whose hearts are pure.2But as for me, I almost lost my footing.My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone.3For I envied the proudwhen I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.4They seem to live such painless lives;their bodies are so healthy and strong.5They don’t have troubles like other people;they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else.6They wear pride like a jeweled necklaceand clothe themselves with cruelty.7These fat cats have everythingtheir hearts could ever wish for!8They scoff and speak only evil;in their pride they seek to crush others.9They boast against the very heavens,and their words strut throughout the earth.10And so the people are dismayed and confused,drinking in all their words.11“What does God know?” they ask.“Does the Most High even know what’s happening?”12Look at these wicked people—enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply.13Did I keep my heart pure for nothing?Did I keep myself innocent for no reason?14I get nothing but trouble all day long;every morning brings me pain.15If I had really spoken this way to others,I would have been a traitor to your people.16So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper.But what a difficult task it is!17Then I went into your sanctuary, O God,and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.18Truly, you put them on a slippery pathand send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.19In an instant they are destroyed,completely swept away by terrors.20When you arise, O Lord,you will laugh at their silly ideasas a person laughs at dreams in the morning.21Then 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.25Whom have I in heaven but you?I desire you more than anything on earth.26My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,but God remains the strength of my heart;he is mine forever.27Those who desert him will perish,for you destroy those who abandon you.28But 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.

Then they remembered that God was their rock,that God Most High78:35 Hebrew El-Elyon. 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.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to keep my gaze on you and not even look at the world. Allow your truth to flow thru me and use me to do your will so I may witness your power to those around me bringing them under your authority as well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

All Glory to Him

He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.

Lord God my Father,

All that I have came from you and is yours. Give the ability to bring you glory with it to me so your work can be done.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His way not mine

Rise up! Help us!Ransom us because of your unfailing love.

In your majesty, ride out to victory,defending truth, humility, and justice.Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!

Lord God my Father,

May I accept that I am worthy of your love and grace. May I accept your power desire in my heart and do your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Peace in my soul

Why do the wicked get away with despising God?They think, “God will never call us to account.”14But you see the trouble and grief they cause.

How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?Cleanse me from these hidden faults.13Keep your servant from deliberate sins!Don’t let them control me.

Lord God my Father,

Remove my trouble and grief created by my own foolishness, Reveal the areas in my heart I remain in control of so I may release them to your care. Restore my soul.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Single purpose

The Lord has done this to you today because you refused to carry out his fierce anger against the Amalekites.

David was now in great danger because all his men were very bitter about losing their sons and daughters, and they began to talk of stoning him. But David found strength in the Lord his God.

Then David asked the Lord, 

You rescue the humble,but you humiliate the proud.

God arms me with strength,and he makes my way perfect.

Lord God my Father,

May I be loyal to you and do your work this day. Remove my stubborn rebellion and create in me a servant’s attitude that follows you completely. I want to do your will, not my flawed desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Getting past myself

I am determined not to sin in what I say.

By your mighty power you rescuethose who seek refuge from their enemies.

Lord God my Father,

Only in you can I live in truth. Lord, reveal my sin and make me whole in my actions. May they only honor you. Remove my doubt in your power.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
