ADORATION (v. 1-7)

O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come. Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? -Psalm 71: 17-19

This prayer is dated July 25,2022. Read Psalm 37 and pray over it.

O Father, I pray those who read my prayers will grow nearer to you. If there is one young woman or young man who seeks to learn how to pray to the Almighty God, Creator, and Redeemer, through my personal prayer, I thank you with all my heart, for this is the reason why I choose to be here with them, so that you call each one of us to intimate prayer with You. Now let’s pray together! Guide our hearts to respond to the call of your steadfast love and mercy.

My blessed Father, my delight is in you because no other One loves my soul. I shall commit my ways and trust you during the most challenging times. Father, bring your righteousness upon our land and our nations. Let us not fret over those who prosper in their ways and carry out evil schemes. Let my heart be content with your Word and the Son of Man who died for us. Nothing else matters but the pure sacrifice of the Lamb of God to bring salvation to all people.

SUPPLICATION (v. 8-18)

Psalm 37 tells us not to fret over those who prosper or do evil and break those who are righteous because they will be accountable for their unfaithful deed. The Lord knows the blameless days, and our heritage will last forever, for God is a righteous judge.

For now, let us endure the trials of this short life. Strengthen our faith, purify our hearts from fears, anxieties, loneliness, addictions, and false religions that turn our hearts from You.

“A Mary spirit is not a personality type. It isn’t about being an extrovert versus an introvert or an active person versus a more contemplative type. Having a Mary spirit is about our attitude toward what God wants to dod in our lives. The spirit behind our response to Him makes all the difference.”

THANKSGIVING (v. 19-33)

I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing. Psalm 37:25-26

Father, let us delight in your ways, establish your servant’s heart on heavenly things, and not envy those who will vanish like smoke. We’re thankful. You held us on a path of righteousness. Bless us with the generosity of your will. You love justice and will not forsake your saints and preserve us forever. Your promises endure forever.

“But what stood out most to me was the fact that when Jesus scolded Martha about her busyness, he wasn’t condemning her efficiency and hard work or her can-do personality. H wasn’t telling her she had to be just like Mary to please Him. Jesus simply didn’t want Martha to be so caught up in kitchen service for Him that she missed out on the joy of living-room intimacy with Him.”

SUPPLICATION (v. 34-40)

Father, we only can keep your ways if you give us the will and strength to understand it. Let our hearts settle on your promises, for you shall return, and your Word is our hope and comfort, not to on those who plot evil day and night against your saints. The liars, deceivers, and profiters will receive their due payment. Your salvation is from the Lord. Be in my stronghold when we’re in trouble. Help us not fear but stay steadfast in our endurance when difficult times. My refuge is in Jesus Christ.

Let’s Go Pray!
