Psalm 61

“It is a heartfelt testimony of a believer’s deep trust in God amid life’s turbulation”~ BibleHub Psalm 61

Adoration

Hear my prayer, Oh God. Listen to Your servant who needs Your guidance and steadfast love. You were with God in the beginning. You created all things in heaven and on earth. Nothing is hidden from You. Oh, Jesus, life dwells in You, and the light of goodness and mercy flows through You.

Let me dwell in Your tent forever. Let Your Word be my comfort, guidance, and firm foundation. Let Your arms of grace and mercy be a refuge to my mind, body, and soul. Let Your strong tower be where I can hide and renew my strength’s faith.

ENTHRONED FOREVER

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” ~ John 1:1

Confession

“To You, I come in my difficulties, distresses; possess me with with yourself, with a spirit of grace and supplication, with a prayerful attitude of mind, with access into warmth of fellowship, so that in the ordinary concerns of life, my thought and desires may rise to You, and in habitual deotion I may find a resource that will soothe my sorrow, sanctify my successes, and qualify me in all ways for dealings with my fellow men.” ~Exerpt from Valley of Vision Puritain Prayers

Father, You see me and what I’m made of. Forgive my lack of prayer and mindset toward Your marvellous Word. There is nowhere I can hide my sins; I must bring them all to the Cross. In Christ, I’m a new creation and want to live for Him, even when I struggle with my subtle sins.

Request

Lord Jesus, our son’s welfare of mind and soul has increased our worries for them. As imperfect parents, we cannot undo what we have done or not done enough when we were children. In their adult life, they make unwise decisions or follow ungodly practices that are very worrisome. Since I’ve become a believer, I’ve untrusted their souls into Your merciful hands. Oh please, Jesus, save my youngest son and renew my oldest son’s mind so that he may realize the false teachings he’s following. Spirit of God, save them both from the clutch of deception and lies. Claimed my sons as lost sons to become Children of God. Hear our prayer, Jesus. In You I trust.

“What, then, does it mean to do all to the glory of God? It means that I eat and drive and ship and engage in my social relationships with a twofold goal. First, I desire that all that I do be pleasing to God. I want God to be pleased with the way I go about in ordinary ativities of my day. So I pray propectively over the day before me, asking that the Holy Spirit will so direct my thoughts, words, and actions that they will be pleasing to God” ~ Exerpt from Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges
