5:44 AM
Psalm 25
Father, I begin by acknowledging Your superiority over everything, over every creature, and over every person…especially me. You are compassionate v6, forgiving v11, gracious v16, full of goodness v7, and demonstrate Your faithful love v6 to me all the time. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways v7; I ask You, for the sake of all You did to and through Jesus for me, "forgive my sin, it is great." Only someone with Your great compassion could hear a prayer like this and tender such forgiveness.
You have things to say and show to me, and only to those who belong to You v14…reveal these things to me. Teach me Your paths today, and guide me in Your truth v5 because You, and You alone, are my salvation. I don't stand a chance in eternity without You -- without Your grace and unmerited mercy.
I thank You for Jesus, Your Son, and all that was accomplished for me, by Him on the cross. I look forward to Heaven, Lord, where worldliness, sin, and my own human desires are no longer a threat to our relationship. Truly free…that's what I'll be…truly free. Free to love You as I should and really desire to do; free to serve You as I should and really desire to do. The New Earth and Heaven look better all the time, Lord…and my finite abilities can't even begin to imagine a place without the pain, the sorrow, the sin, and the death we have now.
In the Name of Jesus Christ and through the power of His blood, please put a strong hedge of protection around my family today; and around my flock. We tend to stray and get distracted throughout the day, but protect us from our enemies and the spirits of destruction that are relentless. Thank You, too, for the Holy Spirit that lives in me. I am not a worthy temple, but I am a willing one. Be first. I am second.
