0Human defiance only enhances your glory,
for you use it as a weapon.

Make vows to the lord your God, and keep them.
Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.
12For he breaks the pride of princes,
and the kings of the earth fear him.

Your road led through the sea,
your pathway through the mighty waters—
a pathway no one knew was there!

Lord God,
May I submit to following your path , May I submit to your authority to lead me. I have worked out how to fix my life and be worthy but It is still my way. May I defy my way and surrender my all and only follow you in ways I never imagined.
In Jesus name,
Amen

But as for me, I am poor and needy;
please hurry to my aid, O God.
You are my helper and my savior;
O lord, do not delay.

But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

Lord God, I still don’t trust you to heal me of my sin, Help me to put your thoughts before mine and surrender all of my will to your desire for me. I cannot do this life on my own, I need you to correct my path.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings
to fulfill the vows I made to you—
14yes, the sacred vows that I made
when I was in deep trouble.

Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.

When I live in a spirit of intentional living for the Lord, I am filled with Joy as I do everything both easy and hard. So why do I have to rededicate myself every morning to have that Joy.

Lord God, in my daily surrender humble my heart to understand you wish to be in total control of my spirit. Help me to seek you in my all, not just when I need your help.
In Jesus name,
Amen

You have been very hard on us,
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
a rallying point in the face of attack.

Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
12With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.

They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their bitter words like arrows.

But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,
suddenly striking them down.
8Their own tongues will ruin them,
and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

I am under attack, attack from myself, evil around me and Satan directly. Only with the Lord’s power may I make a stand and move forward and win this battle.

Lord God, give me power over the areas of my life that lead to a compromise of your will for me.

Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.
3For I recognize my rebellion;
it haunts me day and night.
4Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;

2Restore 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, May I put my focus on you, may I please you. You are the absolute truth I need in me. For when I live by your laws I am free to do anything. Your Laws are simple, I make them difficult.

In Jesus name,
Amen

But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me.
If you keep to my path,
I will reveal to you the salvation of God.”

Lord God,
I pray for removal of self and that I may follow you more directly in my days
In Jesus name,
Amen

I waited patiently for the lord to help me,
and he turned to me and heard my cry.
2He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
3He has given me a new song to sing,
a hymn of praise to our God.

Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and 6my God!
Now I am deeply discouraged,
but I will remember you—

Lord God,
I am bound by my sin nature, I need your deliverance to release me to experience a glory filled life, filled with your glory. So full I can hardly stand it. Lord separate me from my bindings, release me to reveal your glory to my family and the world around me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

1Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.
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.

0The godly offer good counsel;
they teach right from wrong.
31They have made God’s law their own,
so they will never slip from his path.

Lord God,
I pray that I may be Godly in all I do, Make your law mine, Keep me on the path you intend for me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Yes, what joy for those
whose record the lord has cleared of guilt,
whose lives are lived in complete honesty!

Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the lord.”
And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

Let your unfailing love surround us, lord,
for our hope is in you alone.

Oh Lord,
The fact that you find me worthy to be forgiven is unbelievable, I wish to live in complete honesty. Remove the thoughts that cause me to sin and replace them with your Truth. I delight in spending my time in your unfailing Love.

In Jesus name,
Amen

But I am not like that; I live with integrity.
So redeem me and show me mercy.
12Now I stand on solid ground,
and I will publicly praise the lord.

The lord gives his people strength.
The lord blesses them with peace.

Hear me, lord, and have mercy on me.
Help me, O lord.”

I need to actually stand on the Lord, make Him my foundation. He will give me strength and peace.

Lord God, How awesome it is to be able to grow in a relationship with you that will release me from my sinful nature. Protect me, use me against myself to release me from bondage of my way so I may completely surrender to your way in me.

In Jesus name,
Amen
