and I was all torn up inside.

But in spite of this, the people kept sinning.

Lord God,
I ask you to take my nature from me, my sinful nature and protect me from my past. Lord God, may I follow you without the rebellious spirit of my past, may I wholeheartedly open myself up to your council and not stray from your path you put before me before my birth. May I simply delight in your way and not the way of this world or my desire.

Oh, how much I loved you!
And your love for me was deep,
deeper than the love of women!

Lord God,
How you love me, the unconditional love you are. May I learn to remove the conditions from my love for you, my family and your world. Help me to accept this world as you made it and not try to change it to match my will but to change my will to match yours.

Listen to my cry for help.
Pay attention to my prayer,
for it comes from honest lips.

Guard me as you would guard your own eyes.
Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

Lord God,
Satan attacks from all directions, protect me from his attack. Grant me power over my actions that are not of you and deliver me into your path, not my own. Make me new, take me out of the past and deliver me into this moment, pure and new. May I please you in all things. Guard me and keep my from straying.

“A lot of good it did to help this fellow. We protected his flocks in the wilderness, and nothing he owned was lost or stolen. But he has repaid me evil for good.

“Even when you are chased by those who seek to kill you, your life is safe in the care of the lord your God, secure in his treasure pouch!

and from all deceitful people.

and defend the righteous.

Amen
