Lord, You are wonderful and I praise You. Thank you for this time to be together. Time spent with You is my favorite part of the day. I'm sorry Lord for my sin. Please forgive me for my sin and help me! Please speak to me today through Your Word. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. How long, O you sons of men will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood? But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; the Lord will hear when I call to Him. Be angry and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. There are many who say, who will show us any good? Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us. You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the season that their grain and wine increased. I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:1~8
This scripture has many interesting things to say about me. It says that I am safe in the Lord. I am set apart for the Lord. I call out to the Lord. I may be angry but I do not sin. I meditate within my heart on my bed. I am still. I offer the sacrifices of righteousness and my trust is in the Lord.
This scripture also has a lot to say about God. First of all, God hears me when I call. he is the God of my righteousness. He relieves me in my distress. he has mercy on me. And, he hears my prayer. He has set me apart for Himself. The Lord lifts up the light of his countenance upon us/me. He puts gladness in my heart.
The truth of scripture affects my attitude and action. I will believe and know that God hears my prayers, when I pray to Him. I will pray to Him about EVERYTHING that concerns me. I will rejoice and be glad that I am set apart for the Lord. Being set apart for Him comforts me. I will enjoy this season of single life in pursuing Him.
Prayer~
Thank you dear Lord for setting me apart for yourself, as your very own. Thank you for letting me dwell in safety dear Lord. Thank you for being my God of righteousness. When I am angry please do not let me sin (especially at work). Dear Lord, Thank you for shining your countenance upon me. I receive all that you have for me. Lord I love you, and I want to live a life that is pleasing to You (please help me). I tell You all my cares, worries and concerns now. Thank you for hearing me and being concerned about my life. I love You Lord. Amen.
