“You must defend my innocence, O God,since no one else will stand up for me.4You have closed their minds to understanding,but do not let them triumph.

Even if I have sinned, that is my concern, not yours.5You think you’re better than I am, using my humiliation as evidence of my sin.6But it is God who has wronged me, capturing me in his net.

“Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth,5the triumph of the wicked has been short lived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?6Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens and their heads touch the clouds,7yet they will vanish forever, thrown away like their own dung.

Lord God my Father,

Your Truth is all that matters, my salvation is in your hands only. By your grace only do I live. Lead me and allow your grace to deliver me from my trials.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“O earth, do not conceal my blood.Let it cry out on my behalf.19Even now my witness is in heaven.My advocate is there on high.

Lord God my Father,

In the hardest times you are still for me. Give me strength to endure the test and don’t deep your comfort from me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“But true wisdom and power are found in God;counsel and understanding are his.

Let me speak, and I will face the consequences.14Why should I put myself in mortal danger13:14 Hebrew Why should I take my flesh in my teeth.and take my life in my own hands?

Tell me, what have I done wrong? Show me my rebellion and my sin.

Lord God my Father,

You are the answer, all my stress is self inflicted. Help me to take action as I should and live sin free and satisfied.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“But look, God will not reject a person of integrity, nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.21He will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.22Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the home of the wicked will be destroyed.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for the struggles so I may cry out to you and take comfort. Help me, guide me to do your will quickly with confidence.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true.26I have no peace, no quietness. I have no rest; only trouble comes.”

Lord God my Father,

Shape my heart to bring your honor to my family. Motivate me with your Truth and bless my children and wife. Protect me from Satan’s desire to destroy.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me aware of my nature so I may turn from it, allow me to rest in your nature and replace my way with yours. I am evil without you, overwhelm me in your Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
