Lord God,
Despite
my
failure
to
obey
you
as
I
should,
I
love
your
word
and
what
it
teaches
me
about
your
justice,
mercy,
truth,
and
grace.
It
guides
me
as
I
go
throughout
my
day,
reminding
me
of
what
you
expect.,
and
assuring
me
of
your
unfailing
love.
Your
word
helps
me
stay
close
to
you,
by
showing
me
where
you
are,
just
as
a
flashlight
might
illuminate
my
way
on
a
dark
path.
It
enables
me
follow,
and
I’m
committed
to
keeping
my
life
moving
in
that
direction.
Though
I
have
suffered
much,
Lord,
I
know
you
will
restore
my
life
again
as
you
have
promised.
Though
I
have
sinned
against
you,
I
am
confident
you
will
accept
my
offerings
and
praise.
Teach
me
to
love
you
more
dearly,
gracious
God,
and
don’t
let
me
forget
anything
you
have
said.
Guide
me
away
from
wickedness
and
fill
my
heart
with
joy,
especially
when
I
can’t
seem
to
find
it
myself.
Lord,
you
are
my
refuge
and
my
shield.
Even
though
I
have
many
troubles
and
struggles,
you
continue
to
keep
me
from
falling
away
despite
my
unfaithfulness
to
you.
You
give
me
hope.
Keep
me
from
falling
into
my
sinful
and
selfish
habits
and
behaviors.
Banish
all
such
thoughts
from
my
mind.
Do
not
let
me
cause
myself
guilt
and
shame
but
hold
me
up,
and
keep
me
safely
by
your
side.
Gracious
God,
I
admit
that
I
am
tempted
to
despair
at
times.
Filled
with
worries,
troubles,
failures
and
fears,
I
doubt
your
provision
and
love
regularly,
and
it
makes
me
wonder
how
you
could
still
love
me;
but
some
how,
some
way,
you
continue
to
draw
me
back
to
yourself.
Every
day,
you
fill
my
heart
with
the
strength
I
need
to
get
up
and
continue
to
fight.
It’s
not
easy.
I
admit.
I
often
don’t
feel
like
doing
so,
but
you
make
it
happen.
That’s
why
I
worship
you
despite
my
troubles.
That’s
how
I
feel
comfort
and
joy
despite
all
the
pain
and
sorrow
that
exists
in
life.
Because
I
know
you
are
there,
preserving
my
life
and
moving
me
forward.
If
that
were
not
the
case,
I
would
be
the
same
person
I
was
a
one,
five,
ten
or
twenty
years
ago;
but
I’m
not,
because
you
are
continually
changing
me
and
relieving
me
of
the
burden
of
my
sin.
So
do
not
give
me
over
to
my
stubborn
heart
or
allow
me
to
follow
my
own
desire.
Instead,
Lord
God,
make
me
walk
in
your
ways
and
follow
your
commands.
Rescue
me
in
my
weakness
and
answer
me
when
I
am
in
need.
Establish
your
justice
over
all
the
earth
and
proclaim
your
truth.
Bless
me,
my
God,
so
I
may
worship
you
today,
as
your
people
always
have.
Guide
me
as
I
serve
you
in
everything
I
do.
Let
me
find
joy
in
the
day
of
the
Lord,
and
peace
for
my
heart
in
your
presence.
Heal
me
of
my
brokenness
and
restore
me
once
again.
In the name of your Son, Jesus, I pray, Amen.
~ Read: Psalm 119:97-120, 81, 82; Nehemiah 7:73-8:18; Revelation 18:21-24; Matthew 15:29-39
