Psalm 103

v. 10  He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

Lord, this is about the best news ever.  You have not treated us as our sins deserve.  You have not abandoned me despite my rebellion against you.  Thank you for bringing me into your family through the blood of Jesus.  Thank you for being a compassionate, merciful God.  Cleanse my heart and make me more like you.  I need you desperately.  Amen.

Psalm 102

v. 11-12  My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.  But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.

God, you are all-powerful and everlasting.  I am nothing.  Thank you for caring about me.  Thank you for loving me.  You sit enthroned forever.  Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done.  Amen.

Psalm 101

v. 2b-3a I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.  I will not look with approval on anything that is vile.

Lord God, I miss the mark here all the time.  I beg you to let these words be true of me.  Help me please.  I need you.  Amen.
