My Psalm 315
Almighty God, Creator of the Universe,
Yet My Heavenly Father,
I praise Your Holy and Mighty Name
In thanksgiving for Your promises.
I thank You that You agreed to be my God
And to provide for my salvation in Your Son, Jesus.
I thank You that You desire a relationship with me,
Your sinful child
And that You promise to be My Heavenly Father
Both here and in eternity. I praise You, Lord.
I thank You…..

Lenten Prayer “My Psalm 313 Restoration” February 25, 2018
Our Father Who art in heaven,

Through the immense work of Your Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.

Lenten Prayer “My Psalm 311 Resting in God” February 23, 2018
Dear Heavenly Father, Abba, Father
This day I rejoice that in all the clamor of life,
In all the distractions, in all the busyness,
I can rest in Your Presence.
With the Psalmist, I can attest to this truth:
“I sought the Lord, and He answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant;
Their faces are never covered with shame.

Lenten Prayer “My Psalm 310 Repentance” February 22, 2018
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to You in repentance,
Asking forgiveness for the times I have lived my life
As I wanted to, not heeding Your laws and direction.
I make no excuses
Such as, I didn’t know what I was doing,
Or I didn’t think anybody cared about me,
Or What did it matter what I did.
I didn’t hurt anyone, I thought.
Now I know I hurt Your…..
Almighty God, Sovereign over all,
I dare come into Your Presence,
Confessing that I am unworthy through sin’s taint
To do so.
You created me, wondrously created me,
And the whole of creation around me.
Yet I have attempted to make this world
Revolve around me in self-centeredness and pride,
And have usurped power only given me by You.
And allow my worship to come to You.
I always knew You existed. I said, “I believe in God.”
I…..
Lenten “My Psalm 307” Seeking Wisdom February 20, 2018
Almighty God, Creator of the Universe, Abba, Father,
I pray today for wisdom, Your guidance, Your direction.
Around me I hear constant babble, competing voices,
Rabid arguments, statements of fools parading as truth.
I need only hear Your still, small voice
As I come to You in prayer.
Proverbs chapter 18 describes the world we live in:
1Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all…..

Lenten “My Psalm 305” February 18, 2018
With rejoicing we come, Dear Lord,
To Your sabbath, a day set aside to worship
And to rest in Your Presence.
For at Your creation of the world
You accomplished magnificence and order,
And pronounced it good
And rested on the seventh day.
We honor and bless Your Holy Name.
As Your people come together to worship,
Let us put aside all that would distracr or detract,
Let us confess our sin,…..
Lenten “My Psalm 304” February 16Almighty Father, You who created me, You know me all too well. When I am discouraged, Bound by emotions which drain my energy And sap my strength, I pray deliverance.
When life’s struggles become burdensome, When I see the dark skies and feel overwhelmed, When death and disasters are clouds on my mind And the pain of sin overtakes my soul, I pray deliverance.
When I read in Psalms that David felt depression, I find…..
