Have mercy on me, My Savior, because of Your unfailing love. Wash away my transgressions because of Your great compassion. Cover my iniquities and cleanse me with Your precious blood. I have done evil in Your sight, but I am repentant … teach me Your ways so that I do not stumble again. My spirit is broken and I’ve lost hope. Do not hide Your face from me … instead, come to my side and encourage me. Help me maximize You in my life so that my problems will be minimized. Create in me a new heart and renew again my spirit. Restore my joy with praises for You and Your steadfast love. Grant me a willing spirit to follow after You and sustain me in my most trying moments. You do not delight in blood sacrifices … nor do You take pleasure in burnt offerings … because the sacrifices and burnt offerings You desire are a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Come to me now … for You refresh my weariness and give strength in my times of weakness.
I know that You have plans to prosper me … plans that give me hope and a promising future. I know that in Your loving compassion You will never repay me with evil for good nor hatred for friendship. Only goodness flows from You and Your hand is always extended to me in my times of need. Lift me up, O Lord, and steady my legs that I might stand in Your might and valor. Help me trust that in my daily struggles … You will send ministering spirits to uphold me until my battles are won. You are my strong right arm … crushing my enemies and turning sure defeat into a victory. I will proudly sit at Your banqueting table because I am Your child and You have invited me to sit with You. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all of my days.
Help me, My King, to cast all of my burdens on You knowing that You will sustain me. By Your grace, I have been saved from the Pits of Hell … so, surely Your grace is sufficient to help me persevere through any problems life may throw at me. You have rescued me from poverty and need in order to fill and enrich my life with Your blessings and good favor. You have taken my burdens in exchange for a new life. My hope had abandoned me, but You restored it. My joy was hidden, but now it is found. You have vanquished my problems and made a way for me to find happiness again. As Your servant, I’ve found the road to good things and I now wonder … where have all my problems gone? And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
II Corinthians 4:8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
