"I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set nothing wicked (worthless) before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know wickedness." Psalm 101:2-4
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would soon have settled in silence. If I say, "My foot slips." Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul." Psalm 94:17-19
"Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The LORD executes righteousness and and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses. His acts to the children of Israel. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children, to such as keep His covenant, and to those who remember His commandments to do them." Psalm 103:1-18
You are holy LORD and You are calling me to holiness. I submit myself to You! Clean me up; perfect me. Make me a reflection of You in all my ways. You know my weaknesses, my innermost secrets. Shine Your light on everything in my life that is not pleasing to You. Give me the strength to acknowledge my sins; to bring them to Your Altar, and to lay them down, forever! Thank You, Father for your comfort and mercies! Thank You for the sacrifice of Your Son, in whom I have forgiveness and the means to approach Your throne! Thank You for Your Word; with which I receive encouragement and instruction. Thank You for Your Spirit, Who gives me the power to overcome the temptations of this world and victory over the enemy! I will praise You and Bless Your Holy name while I have breath!
Even so - MARANATHA!
