Verse 2: The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind, to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
Father I pray two things...let there be more and more people who seek You, who understand. And let me be one of those people. Let me be a man who seeks You in all things. I want to live for You.
Amen.

Psalm 13
Verse 5 - "But I trust in your unfailing love. My heart rejoices in your salvation."
Lord, this psalm begins with questions. Questions you aren't afraid of, like where are You, and how long will you allow me to suffer? I ask those questions often. Probably too often. I know where you are -- You are here. You are with me. You love and you care. I do trust in your unfailing love. Thank you that your love is unfailing. My heart does rejoice in your salvation. Help me to trust and rejoice more all the time. I need you and I love you. Help me Father. Help me Jesus. Help me Holy Spirit. Amen.

Psalm 12
Verse 6: "And the words of the Lord are flawless. Like silver purified in the crucible. Like gold refined seven times."
Lord your words are beautiful. They are good. They can be trusted. Because you are beautiful, good and trustworthy. Sometimes it is hard to remember that. Sometimes it is hard to trust you and to wait on you to deliver what You have promised. Help me to obey patiently without getting caught up in the desires of the moment. I love you. Thank you for your flawless, pure words. Amen.

Psalm 11
Verse 7: "For the Lord is righteous. He loves justice. The upright will see his face."
Lord, thank you for being a righteous God who loves justice. This world is unjust because we have rebelled against you. I have rebelled against you Father. Forgive me and have mercy on me. Let me walk with you, and thank you Jesus for being upright when I couldn't be. For allowing me a way to see the Father that I couldn't earn on my own. You are my righteousness. Thank you God.

Lord God I am afflicted. I deal with so many problem and hurts, most of which are self-inflicted. I guess I am self-afflicted.

Gather up a people to Yourself and teach us to cry out to You. Teach us about your compassion, about your passion for healing the brokenhearted. You are beautiful God.

Let me be a vessel of your care, love and encouragement. I love you. Amen.

Psalm 9
"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." - verse 9
Father, You are a refuge, a stronghold, a shelter and so much more. You are everything we need. Life is full of trouble, but in You we know no trouble that isn't completely under control. We don't know how to trust You, we don't understand your ways. I don't understand your ways, but I believe. I believe that You are God. I believe that You are perfect and that Your love is boundless. Be our refuge and stronghold. Help me learn to cling to know, even as I realize that learning to cling to You means that my life will be difficult. You are so much more valuable than a comfortable life. You are the prize. I love you for dealing with me so gently. Thank you Jesus.
