The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer. 10May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame.
The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
Lord God my Father,
Hear my cry and deliver me from my struggles. Clean my heart and make me new. Shield me from the evil from within and around me. Use me to reveal your glory and hope.

“You have condemned yourself,” David said, “for you yourself confessed that you killed the Lord’s anointed one.”
How I weep for you, my brother Jonathan! Oh, how much I loved you! And your love for me was deep, deeper than the love of women!
“God only knows what would have happened if you hadn’t spoken, for we would have chased you all night if necessary.” 28So Joab blew the ram’s horn, and his men stopped chasing the troops of Israel.
Now is the time! For the Lord has said, ‘I have chosen David to save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines and from all their other enemies
This pleased the people very much. In fact, everything the king did pleased them!

Help me to release your plan to play out as you designed it without changing it to my understanding. May I grow a love greater than anything I can understand so Your will is my guide. Use me as you will and allow me to please you in all areas of my life.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt. 4We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.
O Lord, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. 5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord. Take them away with those who do evil.
How joyful are those who fear the Lord— all who follow his ways! 2You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be!
Lord God my Father,
I am a sinner and I don’t know you. Forgive me for my nature and deliver me to your delightful table. Cause me to follow the delightful way you show me and turn my back on the darkness of my desire. Your freedom is perfect, without weakness.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
“This is David, the servant of King Saul of Israel. He’s been with me for years, and I’ve never found a single fault in him from the day he arrived until today.”
And the Lord told him, “Yes, go after them. You will surely recover everything that was taken from you!”
But some evil troublemakers among David’s men said, “They didn’t go with us, so they can’t have any of the plunder we recovered. Give them their wives and children, and tell them to be gone.”
23But David said, “No, my brothers! Don’t be selfish with what the Lord has given us.
I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
2The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.
Lord God my Father,
Give me the integrity of David and help me to be your servant as you desire. Be on my side and fight my battles, keep me from questioning your plan and reward me by allowing me to carry your love so others will know you.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
I am determined not to sin in what I say.

“Praise the Lord, who has avenged the insult I received from Nabal and has kept me from doing it myself.
“No!” David said. “Don’t kill him. For who can remain innocent after attacking the Lord’s anointed one?
Then he and Abishai got away without anyone seeing them or even waking up, because the Lord had put Saul’s men into a deep sleep.
Lord God my Father,
You fight my battles in ways that bring you glory, keep me out of your way by quieting my mind. Help me to see the world as you designed in and protect me when I enter danger.

My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side!

Lord God my Father,
Protect and guide me to your way. Carry the sin of the world and allow me ot praise you for fighting for me. Your goodness is the air I breathe.

Amen
