Only here, free from back there.

 “What can I do for you? How can I make amends so that you will bless the Lord’s people again?”

Lord God my Father,

Please help me to rid myself from my past where I was foolish. I wish to make an amends and seek forgiveness so I may live in the now completely under your authority alone. Remove Satan’s ability to weaken me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

He is peace, I am not.

My victory and honor come from God alone.He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.8O my people, trust in him at all times.Pour out your heart to him,for God is our refuge.

Lord God my Father,

You are all things good in me. I trust your way. Help me to release all things to your control and find rest in your presence.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Complete surrender to Him.

“No!” the king said. “Who asked your opinion, you sons of Zeruiah! If the Lord has told him to curse me, who are you to stop him?”

 Leave him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to do it. 12And perhaps the Lord will see that I am being wronged16:12 As in Greek and Syriac versions; Hebrew reads see my iniquity. and will bless me because of these curses today.” 

“If you think that’s the best plan, I’ll do it,” the king answered. 

“O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you! O Absalom, my son, my son.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to understand your plan without interfering with my thoughts, I wish to submit to all your desire for me without wondering from your plan. May I only listen to your counsel and love as you do without compromise.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To have a heart that lives in the moment.

Offer sacrifices in the right spirit,and trust the Lord.

Give your burdens to the Lord,and he will take care of you.He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

Lord God my Father,

Make my heart clean from my past so I can join you now in the moment with a clean, joyful heart. Help me to see the burdens you wish to carry for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen


Free in the now

Oh, what joy for thosewhose disobedience is forgiven,whose sin is put out of sight!2Yes, what joy for thosewhose record the Lord has cleared of guilt,32:2 Greek version reads of sin. Compare Rom 4:8.whose lives are lived in complete honesty!3When I refused to confess my sin,my body wasted away,and I groaned all day long.

Restore 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 my Father,

Thank your for your patience, waiting for me to desire you more than my rebellion. Thank you for forgiving my past poor decisions. Help me to live in this new truth, your truth. Restore me to your desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen.

In Him alone.

Nevertheless, because you have shown utter contempt for the word of the Lord

David replied, “I fasted and wept while the child was alive, for I said, ‘Perhaps the Lord will be gracious to me and let the child live.’ 23But why should I fast when he is dead? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep me in your grace and protect me from my own decisions. I have proven to myself my thoughts on my own lead to trouble. I wish to live in your power and desire. May all I do this day bring you honor.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

In His peace, now

Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,you forgive them all.4What joy for those you choose to bring near,those who live in your holy courts.What festivities await usinside your holy Temple.

Lord God my father,

Help me to understand how much you love me and bring me closer to your desire for me. Separate me from my past so I may be at peace with you in the now.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His will, His glory

May he grant your heart’s desiresand make all your plans succeed.5May we shout for joy when we hear of your victoryand raise a victory banner in the name of our God.May the Lord answer all your prayers.

 we boast in the name of the Lord our God.

Lord God my Father,

May my heart desire you and your will for me. May your peace direct my path and your glory pass thru me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Directed by Him

Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God,and keep the vows you made to the Most High.15Then call on me when you are in trouble,and I will rescue you,and you will give me glory.”

Lord God my Father,

May I be thankful in all I do for I do it for you. Protect and guide my thoughts so my actions will bring you glory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
