His Peace and Strength

You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior.

Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.17For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke.18If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.19But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer.20Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me.

Lord God my Father,

I am broken and a sinner, Lord God forgive my sin and bring my desire closer to you and give me strength against temptation.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

As He wishes

When David saw them whispering, he realized what had happened. “Is the child dead?” he asked. “Yes,” they replied, “he is dead.”20Then David got up from the ground, washed himself, put on lotions,12:20 Hebrew anointed himself. and changed his clothes. He went to the Tabernacle and worshiped the Lord. After that, he returned to the palace and was served food and ate.

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.”

But when he defied and taunted Israel, he was killed by Jonathan, the son of David’s brother Shimea.

Lord God my Father,

Guide me to carry the proper emotion at the proper time, Keep me moving forward and acting for your Glory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I surrender to Him

Be courageous! Let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. May the Lord’s will be done.”

In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem.

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.

Lord God my Father,

Lead me so I may follow your plan as you desire. Help me with my battles and help me to overcome them to reveal your Glory. Protect me from the deceit of this world.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Grateful

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.”

But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Lord God my Father,

I am grateful for all you do for me and how you help me in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His heart, not mine.

 In fact, the Lord made David victorious wherever he went.

So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people. 

Lord God my Father,

I pray to be humble enough for you to use as you wish, give me a heart that only desires your Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Still, so I can hear.

Show me the right path, O Lord;point out the road for me to follow.5Lead me by your truth and teach me,for you are the God who saves me.All day long I put my hope in you.

Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.36:1 As in some Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac version, which read in his heart. Masoretic Text reads in my heart. 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.

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.8Rescue me from my rebellion. Do not let fools mock me.

Lord God my Father,

Quiet my heart do I may be led by you, make still my thoughts so your desire shapes my will. Protect me from my past and deliver me from it so it has no power in my actions today. You are my hope and salvation.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Unconditional

the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand and steadied the Ark of God. 7Then the Lord’s anger was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him dead

“Go ahead and do whatever you have in mind, for the Lord is with you.”

“What more can I say to you about the way you have honored me? You know what your servant is really like. 19For the sake of your servant, O Lord, and according to your will, you have done all these great things and have made them known.

Lord God my Father,

Give me discernment to follow your word without question as to not arouse your anger and to rest in your Peace. Free my thoughts from anything that is not from you. You have honored me by loving me as I am, I wish to be who you want me to be.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Delight in all!

Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor. Let all the earth tremble before him.10Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns! “The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples fairly.

Until the time came to fulfill his dreams,105:19 Hebrew his word. The Lord tested Joseph’s character.

Lord God my Father,

I worship you and seek to find you in all things I encounter. Lord, open my heart to see your essence in everything and allow your delight to rest well with me. Allow me to pass the test that wants to take your Peace from my heart.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

He is my Peace.

1The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.2He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.3He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!7For God is the King over all the earth.

Lord God my Father,

You are my life, your plan is wonderful. Keep me close and protect me in my thoughts.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His day, His delight.

David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, singing songs and playing all kinds of musical instruments—lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

But David was told they were coming, so he marched out to meet them.

And once again David asked God what to do

When she saw King David skipping about and laughing with joy, she was filled with contempt for him.

Lord God my Father,

May I celebrate your name all day, your presence is made known to me all day. Guide me thru the moments of today and may all my thoughts please you. May I serve you with all my heart.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
