v. 19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.
Lord God, I have troubles sometimes. Many of them are certainly my doing. Some are not. Sometimes I deal with problems I cause, sometimes with problems caused by others. I have never been left alone with a problem...you always fight for me. You always protect me. You always take care of me. I am not a righteous man apart from you, Lord Jesus. Thank you for allowing me to be a righteous man because of your death. Your sacrifice is my righteousness. Your victory allows me to be free. Thank you. Thank you for making me; for giving me life and new life in you. I love you. Help me to act like it. Thank you God.

Psalm 33
v. 6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
Lord, your power is unfathomable. You are infinite and eternal, and I can't grasp either of those ideas. I thank you that your love is perfect and that you chose to use your power to love and create. Thank you for your creation, and thank you for creating us to dwell in your creation with you. Make me more like you...not infinite and eternal, but loving and full of grace. Thank you for your abundant grace. You are so good. I love you and give you all praise.

Psalm 32
Verse 9: Do not be like the horse or the mule which have no understanding, but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.
Father, far too often I am like the horse. I am like the mule. I behave like I have no understanding. I refuse to obey, I refuse to come to you. Thank you for grabbing me, for putting the bridle to me. I need it. I need you. Make me a man who doesn't need to be controlled, but who obeys gladly. I beg this of you in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 31
Verse 19: How abundant are the good things you have stored up for those who fear you; that you bestow in the sight of all for those who take refuge in you.
Father, thank you for the abundance of good things you bestow upon your people and upon me. Help me to know the fear of God properly. Help me to follow you well. Help me to take refuge in you. Thank you for your awesome power. Thank you for your majesty and unmatched goodness. I love you. I fear you. I take refuge in you. Amen.
