I read in a Beth Moore Bible study about the importance of praying scripture. When I don't know what to pray, or how to pray sometimes, I look to HIs word and use the verses to speak when I cannot.
Psalm 1: A prayer in my own words. May this be our hearts desire!
Oh Father, may I find favor in your sight!
May I not be swept up in the way of sinners,
and may I turn a deaf ear to those who ridicule me!
Oh Lord may I delight in the beauty of Your word!
May my every thought be consumed by it!
Make me a grand tree, firmly planted, and soaking up Your streams of water!
May my branches produce a harvest of Your love,
And in seasons of draught, may my leaves not wither!
In all that I do Lord, may I prosper for Your glory!
Help me to be set apart from the wicked,
Those who are easily blown about by the wind,
For they will behold Your judgement, and will not enter Your kingdom!
Oh Lord you know the path I should take, each step planned,
Keep my feet on this road to life, and steer me clear of the pathway to death!
