II Samuel 10 

God, like David, they do not understand my kindness and caused problems. I ask you to work in my life. I cannot and will not seek vengeance. So please take care of things for your honor and glory. I feel like Joab and we must play the man and see what you decide to do. I’ll wait for you. All I know is that I want peace. They reject my pleas for peace. They refuse any step I take. Please work.

Psalm 20 

God, I ask you to hear me in the day of trouble. I ask you to defend me. Please send help and strengthen me. I ask you to remember my service to you. I ask you to do all this from your heart and do what you want. You have a purpose; I know that. You are my king and can do with me as you wish. I will be happy with whatever you decide to do. I will trust you and look to you. You will hear and answer my prayer. God, I am yours, and you chose me. I am not all I ought to be, but I am yours. Please hear from heaven and help me. Use your power in my life. I will trust in you and none else to accomplish great things. I trust you to come to my aid and will wait on you.

Psalm 65 

God, you hear prayer, and we praise you as a family. We love you. Everyone comes to you because you hear prayer. They constantly heap sins against me. I ask you to forgive my sins. I know that I have failed you and sinned against you many times. 

I am glad you have chosen me. I am glad you allowed me to serve and be near you. God, it is you that does everything in the world. It is yours. I belong to you, and thank you for what you do in my life. You make life worth living. You bless me when I do not deserve it. 

Psalm 66

God, you are an awesome God, and you do great things in our lives. I thank you for that. I worship you. You are all-powerful. There is no limit to what you can do. You have done great things in the past and you continue to do so. God, don’t let the rebellious rise against you. 

God, I ask you to bless your people, me. God, you have tested and tried me. You have worked in my life and you have brought all this on me. You have poured affliction on me and caused men to walk all over me. 

I ask you to bring me out and bless me like in this psalm, to a wealthy place. I will continue to worship you and do what I have promised. I will praise you. I will not forget. I am not making this promise just because I am in trouble. 

I will gladly tell the world how you rescued me. I have cried to you even in my sleep. I have begged you. I do not want to hold on to my sin. I have confessed it and left it. God, please hear me. Please do not turn my prayer away. Have mercy on me.

Psalm 67

God, please be merciful to me. Bless me. Cause your face to shine on me. I know I do not deserve it. God, I have sought for many years to carry your name worldwide. Please let me do that again. I want the world to praise you. I want the nations to be glad in you. God, please work once again in my life. 

Psalm 69

God, the troubles in my life seem to get deeper and have no end in sight. Will you please work in my life? I am sinking and have nowhere to stand. I am so tired of hurting and crying. I am waiting for you. They hate me and have no reason to do so. They want to destroy me, are strong, and never seem to quit. 

God, you know I am foolish and have failed you. I have not hidden my sins from you. God, please answer my prayers as I wait for you. Please move and remove the shame they continually pour on me. You said that there was nothing of more value than a good name, and they have taken that from me. Please work. 

Whenever you are ready, I ask you to work. I know you are in charge and I trust you are doing right and will do right. I beg you to rescue me before I sink to my death. Please don’t let me drown in these troubles. Open a door somewhere for me. Rescue me from my enemies. 

You see what is going on. You see them and you know them better than I do. My heart breaks and I am sinking under the weight of it all. I look for someone to love me, but no one does. Please judge them. You have disciplined me, but they continue to pour it on. Please God, work. 

God, I have nowhere else to turn. I will praise you and magnify you and live in gratitude. I will honor you, but God, please hear me. God, show your power in my life, please. 

Psalm 70

God, come quickly to rescue me. I am embarrassed. God, turn them backwards and put them in confusion that so desire to destroy me. Please God, shame them. God be magnified. Let my children and grandchildren see you rescue me. I am helpless. I need you. Please hurry to my defense. God, please quit waiting around.
