#758 - PSALMS 28:7 // PROVERBS 28:9

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. Psalms 28:7

If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. Proverbs 28:9

Heavenly Father, I trust you. Your heart. Your plans. Your ways. Your will. Your timing. Your sovereignty. Your omniscience. I trust you Lord. You alone are the trustworthy one. For generations you have been faithful to your word. For generations you have done what you said what you would do. You are the only one with perfect integrity. Therefore, you are the only one worthy of being trusted with all of my being. I trust you God, and I thank you for how you have helped me over the years as I have put my trust in you. Financially. Emotionally. Relationally. Vocationally. In every area that I have trusted you, you have helped me. I praise your name! I give thanks to you! You are my helper!

Lord, for someone for who prayer has become such an important part of my life, I fear my prayers being an abomination unto you. Help me to heed your law. Help me to respect your law. Help me to not turn away from your words as outlined in the scriptures. Help me to not scoff at your word. Help me to not neglect your counsel. Instead, help me to run first to your law. Help me to run first to the scriptures. Help me to regard them as they should be regarded…as your very words! I praise you for how you have left your words to me. I praise you for how you have left your words to your church. You have not left us alone. You have not left us without instruction. Help your word then to be the lamp unto our feet and light unto our path that you intended it to be. Help me to prioritize it as such all the days of my life. I pray all of this in Jesus name, Amen.
