“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,

He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

Lord God my Father,

Lord God, you are my rock I stand on and you bring blessing to all I do in your name. You are the delight in my soul I wish to share with your people to allow them to know you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me. 18I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Lord God my Father,

You protect me and guide me; with you I am safe and at Peace. When I fall you pick me up and I rejoice and am made stronger. You are my hope and my future.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him take everything, now that my lord the king has returned home safely.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me a heart that only lives for you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.

But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down. 8He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

Lord God my Father,

I need you, you are my hope and strength. As I grow tired I require your strength. Protect me from the fallen world and allow me to rest in your arms. Provide for my needs and allow your plan to rest on me well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But the king said, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why do you do this?’ ”

It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to not guess your plan but to follow it without distraction. If I must suffer to release your will, so be it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Victory comes from you, O Lord. May you bless your people.

Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent.

To you, Lord, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.

But you, God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of decay; the bloodthirsty and deceitful will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.

Lord God my Father,

You are victory in all things, help me to follow you only. Protect my thoughts so I don’t argue with your plan. Your foundation is solid and never moves, help me to keep my feet on it and allow you to do the battles before me as you see fit because I trust you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But Amnon had a very crafty friend—his cousin Jonadab.

But God does not just sweep life away; instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him.

“If the Lord sees fit,” David said, “he will bring me back to see the Ark and the Tabernacle again. 26But if he is through with me, then let him do what seems best to him.”

Lord God my Father,

Protect me from crafty deceivers and keep my in your Truth. Use my life to show your glory and give me wisdom to move forward or not in what is to be done.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.

The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.

Look down and have mercy on me. Give your strength to your servant; save me, the son of your servant.

Lord God my Father,

Restore me to your perfect, peaceful, completely trusting in your plan, desire. Remove my opinion and allow your way to be on me in all issues of the day. I am a sinner without you and I wish to only be in your will so your strength is all I carry.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 But the Lord was displeased with what David had done.

Lord God my Father,

I know you and love you, yet I stray from you. Lord protect my thoughts and my actions so I may represent you well in all things and not stray from your protection.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

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. 2May he send you help from his sanctuary

Lord God my Father,

Give me courage to do the hard things that you call me to do. Bring me wisdom to do your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
