Prayer from Psalm 16

Psalm 16

A miktam of David.

1 Keep me safe, my God,
    for in you I take refuge.

2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
    apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land,
    “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
    I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
    or take up their names on my lips.

5 Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;
    you make my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
    even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
    With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
    nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
11 You make known to me the path of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,
    with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Prayer from Galatians 5:25

A Daily Office  Good morning Jesus. Today I choose You.   I choose to live by the Spirit. Today I choose to keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). I do not claim to be without sin.  I confess my sins to You.   Make me aware of any offensive way in me. I believe you are faithful and just. I believe you forgive me and purify me from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9). I humble myself before You. Lift me up. I cast all my anxiety on You. Care for me (1 Peter 5:6-7). May I know and trust that You are with me today (Matthew 28:20). Amen

Prayer from Ruth 3:5

Father, give me a servant's heart that proclaims with Ruth, I will do whatever you say.    Taking time to answer someone's questions.  I will do whatever You say. Washing dishes.  I will do whatever You say. Listening to my kids.  I will do whatever You say. Pausing my work to sit in Your prescence.  I will do whatever You say. Picking up the phone to talk to a stranger.  I will do whatever You say. Giving someone a ride.  I will do whatever You say. Helping a friend.  I will do whatever You say. Loving an enemy.  I will do whatever You say. Amen Ruth 3:5 "I will do whatever you say," Ruth answered.
