Psalm 22

Verse 1: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?  Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?

Verse 19: But you, Lord, do not be far from me.  You are my strength; come quickly to help me.

God, I know you have never left me.  I know you have never forsaken me.  I know that you, Jesus, were abandoned and forsaken so that I would never have to be.  Stay near me, do not be far from me Lord.  I do need your help, please give me strength.  Be my strength.  Thank you for answered prayer.  Thank you for taking care of me.  I need you.  Thank you for paying the price for my sin.

Psalm 21

Verse 13: Be exalted in your strength, Lord; we will sing and praise your might.


Lord God, Creator of all, Lord over all, your strength is unimaginable.  Your power and might are boundless.  You alone are worthy of praise and worship.  You alone are God.  Let nothing come between you and me.  Let nothing ever take your place in my heart.  Let me praise you for your power and glory always.  Amen.

Psalm 20

Verses 19-20 - Some trust in chariots and some trust in horses, but we will trust in the name of the Lord our God.  They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.


Father, I want to rise up and stand firm.  I know the only way there is to trust in You.  Help me to trust in You.  My power is not from me, it's only from you.  I need you.  I need help.  Hold me close and help me to be strong in You.  Amen.

Psalm 19

Verse 8: "The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart.  The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes."

Lord, I know your precepts are right and your commands are good.  Please give joy to my heart and light to my eyes as I learn to walk with you obediently, trusting You rather than me.
