Psalm 37

 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you discern my thoughts from afar
You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before,
    and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.
         Psalm 139:1-6

Adoration

Oh Lord of Divine Justice and winner of my souls, be patient with Your servant who frets and worries about situations that cannot be controlled. Let me delight and trust in You always. Let me commit to Your ways and be faithful to You in my actions and thoughts. Teach me not to fret over those who are wicked and seem to prosper, for they will fade away and be carried out into Your perfect and righteous justice.

Confession

“O Lord, I am astonished at the difference between my receiving and my deservings, between the state I am now in and my past gracelessness, between the heaven I am bound for and the hell I merit. Who made me differ, but You? For I was no more ready to receive Christ then were others; I could not have begun to love You If you had not loved me, or been willing unless You had first made me so. O that such a crown fit the head of such a sinner! ~ Exerpt from Valley of Vision

Request

Oh Lord, let not the wicked lead my sons from Your presence. Called them sinners to respective hearts. Protest them from this evil spirit and false teachings they have embarrassed become their soul’s destruction. They have called upon a higher power of evil who isn’t the truth God. Destroyed and exposed the devilishness that has gone with these false teachings, leading them away from You and the gospel’s truth. Deliver them from the clutch of Satan who devoured the innocents and weeks. Bring my sons back to us, into Your marvellous light!

I trust in Your perfect justice and let You condemn those who seek to destroy marriage, family, children, the poor, the orphans, and the widows. You’re my stronghold and future of peace. All transgressors shall be destroyed. Oh Divine God, in Your will, I take refuge and trust. Forgive my doubts when I don’t seek You in prayer.

What I learn about God:

  • God is righteous
  • Divine justice and intervention amid tribulation
  • God is a refuge when we trust in Him
  • He encourages us to seek His justice
  • He wants us to maintain our faith in Him

What I’m Thankful for:

  • God deals with those who pursue that are against us
  • I can pray against those who are contenders, deceivers doing evil deeds
  • To be vindicated by God
  • To be my Protector and Defender
  • To be able to praise God for His defence and righteousness.
