ADORATION (v. 1-5)
Hello, my friends in Christ; I used the NIV translation today. This prayer is dated July 29/22. Read Psalm 40 and pray over it. I’ve decided to memorize Psalm 62, which is valuable to my soul. Today I prayed over Psalm 76. How is your quiet time with God this week? How is your Bible reading getting along this week?
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. 4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. 5 Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you;were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare
Lord, you put a new song in my heart, a praise to our God. You’ve multiplied your wondrous deeds and thoughts toward us; none can compare. I shall put my trust in God all the days of my life. I will proclaim your promises, love, holiness, and perfect redemption to all people who have no hope except through Jesus Christ, our blessed Lord.
CONFESSION (v.7-10)
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened—burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll. 8 I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.” 9 I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, Lord, as you know. 10 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly.
O Lord, forgive your servant for not proclaiming your faithfulness or gift of salvation or deliverance and mercy to those who needed to hear it. Forgive me when my thoughts are doubtful and sinful. Defiling ourselves like a wore and fearing men/women rather than the God almighty. Trusting in men’s lies rather than God’s way and truth. Obeying Him that our life may be well with us. Oh, Father, save your people! It’s a daily struggle to want to stay pure at heart, mind and soul when our country has become like Sodom and Gomorrah.
THANKSGIVING (v.11-15)
Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me. 12 For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.13 Be pleased to save me, Lord; come quickly, Lord, to help me. 14 May all who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. 15 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
As for you, Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from us. Your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve us! I’m grateful you delivered me from myself when I was doubtful, bitter, and discontent. I fear evil has led many Christians away from the truth, believing and compromising their faith. Those who seek my life, bringing dishonour to our life, are not worthy of our friendship. If they are appalled by my love for Jesus Christ because I believed in You, let them be ashamed, for I do not want to recant your holy name.
SUPPLICATION (v. 16-17)
But may all who seek you, rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The Lord is great!” 17 But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay
I want to seek You and be glad in You. Let your servant delight and find joy in Your word. I pray for the broken and the lost, guide them through this dark and trial moment of their life. Do not crush us to a point we cannot bare it.
Let’s Go Pray!
