Bible Reading: 2081001

Psalm 107-114

O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Psalm 108:1

Lord, I know that my heart is not fixed. There are so many things that sway me from what I ought to be and to do. I pray that Thou wouldst forgive the sins of Thy servant and restore a right spirit within me. I pray that I Thou wouldst help me to always give the praise and glory unto Thee and not to think highly of myself.

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. Psalm 108:13

Lord, Through Thee, and Thee alone shall we be able to do valiantly. There are many enemies that have compassed us about and are standing in the way of Thy word. Lord, help us to be courageous and to stand for the truth and to spread it throughout the whole world. Help us to stand without fear and to proclaim Thy holy name.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. Psalm 111:4-5

Dear God, I praise Thee for Thy Wonderful works toward men. They truly are to be remembered. You have shown mercy and compassion on my family and I that cannot be expressed or comprehended. Lord, thank You for Thy covenant and for being ever mindful of Thy promises toward Thy children. Help us to honor Thy word with our whole heart that we may be preserved blameless and bring glory unto Thy name.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Psalm 111:10

Lord, once again I pray that Thou wouldst teach me to fear and reverence Thee. That my heart would know wisdom and understand that I am but a worm in Thy sight. Help me to be in awe of Thee and to fear Thy judgements and statutes.

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Psalm 112:1-2

Lord, help me to fear Thee for my children's, children's sake. Lord, my desire is that I might raise up a godly generation that knoweth Thee and and carries Thy word throughout the world to every generation. Help my children to be mighty men of God that are examples to all those who would follow after Thee.

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. Psalm 112:5

Lord, help me to be a discreet man in my goings. Help me to know how and when to hold my tongue and how lift up and encourage rather than voice my frustrations. Help me to be a true leader and to apply Thy wisdome to my heart.
