Psalm 3-10
“O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.” Psalm 4:2-3
Lord, how long will I bring dishonor to Thee? My desire is truly to follow after Thee and to live a disciplined, productive life. But Lord, I continually find myself giving sway to the desires of my flesh. Lord help me to live a life more wholly given to Thee. Help me to rise earlier and to go to bed at a an hour that would allow for proper rest, so that my spirit would be refreshed and motivated to serve Thee and to work hard. Thank you for the blessings Thou hast already bestowed on me and for the victories Thou hast allowed me to have. Now Lord, I pray that they would continue.
“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8
Lord, I thank Thee for the love, protection, and prosperity that you have given me. Lord, I know there may come a day when I have a season of reproach as Job did, but Lord, help me to rejoice in thee always. Thank you for the sweet sleep you have given unto Thy servant and for the safety from harm. Lord help me to honor Thee with my life today and live in such a way that sinners would be turned unto Thee.
“The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.” Psalm 7:8
Lord, this is a statement that I fear I may never be able to say with a clear conscience. Lord, I am not a man of righteousness or integrity as David was. Lord, though I am made righteous through the blood of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, I do not live in such a way as to honor his Holy name. Lord, help me to stand firm and to eschew evil, and to stand firm in Thy word.
