II Samuel 11-12

God, I want to be in my place, doing your will for my life. I do not want to be idle and in a place where Satan can tempt me. 

I want to be like Uriah the Hittite, who was so faithful to his calling. He refused to accept the comforts of home when his men were suffering. I want to be the man that follows and obeys his king, even to his detriment. I am in your hands. You are welcome to do with me whatever you want to do. I belong to you. 

I want to know that you deal with my sin and to be ready to confess and forsake whatever doesn’t please you. 

I Chronicles 20 

Psalm 32

God, knowing that you have forgiven my sin, is a blessing. What a blessing to know that you do not place my sin on my account. I do not want to have any deception in my heart or life. Not confessing carries a heavy cost. You have dealt with my sin and I am happy about that. I have confessed my sin. I am not hiding it. Thank you for forgiving me. 

Therefore, all of your people come to you. I am in trouble. I need you. I'm hiding in you. You are my refuge. You will rescue me. I ask for your guidance and direction in my life. I will keep my eye on you. I do not want to be hard to direct. I want to be sensitive to you. You will bring many sorrows on those that are not obeying you. I pray you will show me mercy because I trust you. I will praise you and believe you. 

Psalm 51

God, thank you for mercy on me and for forgiving me, though I do not deserve it. You have done everything because of your mercy and grace. You have washed and cleansed me, I'm thankful. I know I have failed you, and I will never forget that. I know that my sin was against you and always is. You determine what is right and wrong. From the very beginning of my life, I was a mess. You have disciplined and broken me. Please stop looking at my sins and think of me. Erase my sins. Give me the right spirit. Let me rejoice in you once again.

I would love to be in ministry again and will wait for you to make that happen if you choose. Help me live praising you. I want to obey you, not to act worshipful. 

Psalm 86

God, please listen to me. I am in need. Troubles surround me. I am yours, but can’t live without your blessings and power. Be merciful to me. I cry to you all the time. Please take care of my family, God. They hurt when I hurt, and they have other needs as well. Give joy back to your children. I know you are a forgiving God. Thank you for that. I am glad you are so merciful. God, please hear my prayer to you. I call on you because I am in trouble. I need you. I can’t defend myself. I can’t make things right. 

There is no other like you. I worship you. Teach me to serve you and you alone. Teach me to look to you and you alone. I will always praise you.

You have shown me great mercy, and I thank you. You are full of compassion and grace. God, please give me a token for good. Those that hate me need to see that you love me, and I will not always have to live in shame. You are God, and you have helped and comforted me.

Psalm 122

God, I love worshipping you and being with your people. I want to see your work built. There are people that refuse to allow me to worship with even my friends. I pray you will work on that. I thank you for who you are and all you do. I beg you for peace and prosperity. My brothers and sisters are also being asked for. I ask you for my family. God, awake and show yourself when I have learned all you want to teach me.
