His name is the Lord— rejoice in his presence!

O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you.

The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged. 33For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.

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.

Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. 12With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God.

Lord God my Father,

You are my joy and peace. I am a fool on my own. Keep me close and allow me to see as you do how I should behave. I need you to shape every thought before I am aware of it. Help me to completely surrender to your desire, the desire you created for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The 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.

I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain. 18But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done.

Do not abandon me, O Lord. Do not stand at a distance, my God. 22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior.

Lord God my Father,

Surround me with Godly people, help me to grow as a powerful part of your plan. In my times of struggle, keep me close and save me from wicked thoughts. Be my guide and provider.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The one thing I ask of the Lord— the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple. 5For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. 6Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me.

Be my rock of protection, a fortress where I will be safe. 3You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger. 4Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone. 5I entrust my spirit into your hand. Rescue me, Lord, for you are a faithful God.

Love the Lord, all you godly ones! For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant. 24So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!

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.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close and protect me from evil. With you, I am strong, on my own I am broken. Your delight is my desire and strength. I turned away from you and you forgave me. Thank you for being with me forever.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

O Lord, do not stay far away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!

All who seek the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy. 27The whole earth will acknowledge the Lord and return to him. All the families of the nations will bow down before him. 28For royal power belongs to the Lord. He rules all the nations.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the Lord.

Lord God my Father,

You are my strength and delight; you are everything good in me. Protect me from falling into sin and when I do, restore me to my proper place. Keep me secure in your way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?

Cleanse me from these hidden faults.

13Keep your servant from deliberate sins!

Don’t let them control me.

Then I will be free of guilt

and innocent of great sin.

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart so I can see the desires within and shape me away from my sin nature. I want to only delight in you as you desire to delight in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Take courage and be a man. 3Observe the requirements of the Lord your God, and follow all his ways. 

My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery.5:9 Greek version reads with lies. Compare Rom 3:13. 10O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy. 12For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love.

Lord God my Father,

Direct me in shaping courage as you desire it for me. Give me discernment to separate your Truth from the noise of the world. Allow me to live in constant connection with you without distraction. May I bring you nothing less than worship.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I know, my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there.

Give my son Solomon the wholehearted desire to obey all your commands, laws, and decrees, and to do everything necessary to build this Temple, for which I have made these preparations.”

About that time David’s son Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith, began boasting, “I will make myself king.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me heart that longs for you without distraction. Give me the wholehearted desire to obey you and do everything you desire for me to do. Protect me from the attack of darkness.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Be careful to obey all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may continue to possess this good land and leave it to your children as a permanent inheritance.

 If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

Lord God my Father,

Give me the heart I need to obey you without conditions and the strength to do your work without delay. Transform me as you transform my surroundings.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The musicians were appointed to their term of service by means of sacred lots, without regard to whether they were young or old, teacher or student.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to surrender to the life you desire of me and trust your plan without the need to understand what you call me to do now.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Now seek the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. Build the sanctuary of the Lord God so that you can bring the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant and the holy vessels of God into the Temple built to honor the Lord’s name.”

Lord God my Father,

I want to know you well and do your will without compromise. Help me to give you all of my attention and protect me from distractions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
