in the face of the darkness light is near.

Ten times now you have reproached me; shamelessly you attack me. 4If it is true that I have gone astray, my error remains my concern alone. 5If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my humiliation against me, 6then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me.

I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. 26And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; 27I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

“My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer because I am greatly disturbed. 3I hear a rebuke that dishonors me, and my understanding inspires me to reply.

Lord God my Father,

You are the light, hope and delight that puts everything in it’s place. Help me to follow you only and not listen to any of my own thoughts. Without you, my decisions are weak, you are my strength. Keep me under your peace and protect me from understanding on my own.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
