Psalm 86

v. 11 Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

Father, I see the inconsistency in my life.  Actually, I probably see only a small portion of it unfortunately.  I know that I lack integrity.  I know I miss the mark.  Please do teach me your way and give me an undivided heart.  Teach me to rely on your faithfulness.  Help me to fear your name in a way that builds your Kingdom and brings you glory.  Amen.

Psalm 85

v. 7 Show us your unfailing love, Lord, and grant us your salvation.

Lord Jesus, draw us in.  Bring me near to you.  I turn from you far too often.  Bring me back.  Guide my heart.  I praise you for your unfailing love.  Unfailing.  You never fail, God.  Your ways are far beyond our comprehension and they are perfect.  Thank you for being our God.  Have your way.  Build your Kingdom.  Use me however you choose and prepare my heart to be used by you.  Amen.

Psalm 84

v. 12 Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.

Lord God, you alone are the source of my joy.  I count it a blessing to be yours.  Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere, and better is my worst day in Christ than an eternity of comfort apart from you.  You are the hope of the world.  I give you all praise and glory, Lord my God.  In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Psalm 83

v. 18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord -- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Lord God, you are indeed the Most High God.  You are the King.  You are my Lord, Ruler, Master and my God.  Let your Name be proclaimed throughout the earth.  Use me to glorify your Name in whatever way you choose.  I worship you and you alone, Lord my God.

Psalm 82

v. 3 Defend the weak and fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

Lord God, protect those who cannot protect themselves.  Take up the cause of those who are marginalized, and give me the courage to fight for the weak and fatherless as well.  Take my eyes off of me, and give me a heart for what troubles you.  Let your ways be my ways, let me see what you see.  Amen.
