Lord God,
When
I
think
about
your
unfailing
love
and
perfect
justice,
my
heart
is
filled
with
joy.
Nevertheless,
when
I
ponder
your
holiness,
and
call
me
to
imitate
you,
I
am
discouraged,
because
I
know
I
cannot
live
up
to
your
standard,
and
I
need
your
help
to
live
with
integrity.
I
need
your
strength
to
resist
the
temptations
of
this
world
and
reject
the
idols
of
my
heat.
I
need
your
courage
to
stand
up
against
evil,
and
those
who
slander,
gossip,
and
lie.
I
need
your
wisdom
to
rebuke
the
arrogant,
proud
and
self-righteous.
Look
upon
me
with
favor,
gracious
God,
that
I
might
live
in
your
presences.
Lead
me,
in
the
way
I
must
go
to
follow
you
and
instruct
me
in
how
I
should
live.
Don’t
be
silent,
Lord,
but
speak
to
me,
so
I
can
hear
your
voice.
Don’t
allow
those
who
oppose
you
to
oppress
me,
or
malign
me.
Don’t
let
them
harm
me
or
make
my
life
difficult
for
no
reason.
Protect
me
and
defend
me,
Lord.
Demonstrate
you
justice
and
truth
to
all
who
are
merciless
and
unjust.
Undermine
their
selfish
plans
and
bring
them
to
their
knees.
Reveal
their
wickedness
to
all
so
that
they
might
be
exposed
for
who
they
really
are.
Do
not
let
them
prosper
from
their
evil.
However,
as
for
me,
Sovereign
Lord,
be
kind
to
me,
I
pray,
so
that
others
will
know
you
are
good.
Because
your
great
love
for
me,
bless
me
and
rescue
me
from
my
sin.
For
I
am
poor
and
needy,
and
my
heart
is
full
of
pain.
I
feel
as
though
I
am
fading
like
a
shadow
at
dusk.
People
seem
to
brush
me
off
like
a
worthless
insect.
I
am
weak
because
I
cannot
eat;
and
I
am
tired
because
I
cannot
sleep.
I
am
wasting
away
under
the
stress
and
strain
of
my
life,
and
I
need
your
help,
O
God.
I
need
your
great
love
to
strengthen
me,
and
your
mercy
to
give
me
hope
for
tomorrow.
I
need
to
know
that
you
will
protect
me
from
danger
and
hold
me
up
when
I
am
about
to
fall.
Though
I
know
I
am
responsible
for
many
of
my
own
struggles,
I
need
your
help
to
get
out
of
them
so
that
I
will
not
be
ashamed,
and
you
will
not
be
dishonored
by
my
failures.
Give
me
a
thankful
heart
for
all
that
you
have
already
done
for
me,
Lord,
and
let
me
never
stop
singing
your
praise.
Help
me
to
do
that
which
is
just
and
right
in
your
eyes
and
do
not
leave
me
at
the
mercy
of
those
who
might
oppress
me.
Let
me
see
my
salvation
in
you
and
feel
the
assurance
it
provides.
Help
me
to
love
your
commandments,
and
obey
them
out
of
my
love
for
you.
Deal
with
me
according
to
your
steadfast
love,
and
not
according
to
what
I
deserve.
Deal
with
me
according
to
the
sacrifice
Jesus
made
on
my
behalf
when
he
stretched
out
his
arms
and
hung
on
the
cross
for
my
sin.
Help
me
to
be
true
to
him
and
faithful
to
you
through
the
power
of
your
Spirit
living
in
me.
For
the
sake
of
your
Son
Jesus,
I
pray
all
these
things
in
his
holy
name,
Amen.
~Read: Psalm 101, 109:1-30; 119:121-144; Revelation 21:9-21; Matthew 17:22-27
