Psalms 143 & 144; Colossians 3

Thank you, Father, that you hear my prayers and that you give ear to my supplications. You are faithful to answer me.

Teach me your will, father, for you are my God. Holy Spirit, you are good. You lead me in a place of uprightness. Revive Me, o Lord, keep my soul out of trouble. Cut off my enemies, oh Lord.

You, o Lord, are my rock. You trained me to do spiritual battle. You are loving kindness and you are my fortress, my hightower, and my deliverer. You are my shield and the one in whom I take refuge.

You stretch out your hand and you rescue me and deliver me out of the noisy foolishness of the lost. Their mouths speak lies and their right hand is the hand of falsehood.

But I sing a new song to you, o God. I keep my eyes on the Lord Jesus, and I set my heart on things above and not on the things of this earth, for I am dead and my life is hidden with Christ in God.
