Psalm 145&146&147; Romans 5

You are great, Lord, and greatly to be praised. All your works shall praise you!

You, Father, are gracious and full of compassion. You are slow to anger and great in mercy. You are good to all, and all your works include your tender mercies.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures to all generations.

You are righteous, Father, in all your ways. You are near to all who call upon you. You save all who fear you and call upon you, all who find your way, your truth.

I am happy, Lord, because you are my God. My hope is in you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You keep me in truth forever. You justify me. You feed me with your living word. You have freed me from the bondage and the penalty of sin.

You opened my eyes when I was blind, and now I can see you, your person and your glory. You raised me up when I was broken down and lost. You gathered me together with your people. You healed my broken heart and bound up the wounds of my guilt.

You lifted me up and gave me hope. Your hope fills me with life, because you have poured your love into my heart through your Holy Spirit.

Psalm138&139

Lord God, you perfect all that concerns me. I cry out to you, and you answer me. You fill me with your presence, and you know me. You know all my commings and goings. You are acquainted with all my ways. You know my words before I speak.

You have hedged me behind and before. You have laid your hand upon me. All this knowledge is too wonderful for me to fully understand, but I know it is true, and I know you are with me now and forever.

Your Holy Spirit leads me and holds me. With you, I dwell in the light day and night.

You formed me. You guarded me in my mother‘s womb. I praise you for my life and for my parents. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your work, Father, in every detail of my life is marvelous, and my soul knows that and loves you for your love and patience and purpose with me.

You have written my life in your book. All my days are fashioned for me by you, Father. You know me, and you have searched my mind and heart. You have cleansed me and filled me with your person. Now you lead me moment by a moment in your everlasting way.

Psalm 118&119

You, oh Lord, chastened me severely, but in that way, you brought me back to my senses. I saw my sin. I saw the death in it, and I repented. You saved me, Lord. You opened for me the gate of righteousness, and I went through

I praise you, Lord, for you have become my salvation. Lord Jesus, now you are the chief cornerstone of my life, and I rejoice, and I am glad in that.

I give thanks to you, Father, for you are good, and your mercy endures forever. I seek you every day, all day, with my whole heart. I walk in your ways. I keep your precepts, and your Holy Spirit leads me.

Thank you, Lord, that you have opened my eyes, and caused me to see wondrous, living, eternal, joyful, reassuring things.

I meditate on your statutes. Your testimonies and your communion with me are my delight and my counselors. You have dealt your love and your person to me bountifully, oh Lord, and now I live to keep your word!

Psalm 91&90

Lord Jesus, even while I was lost in sin and self, you loved me. You came to me and showed me my filth and my bondage. Your love moved me to repent and to confess and to come back to you.

I love you, Lord, because you first loved me. Now I have set my love on you, and you have delivered me from my past.

Now I know your name, Lord Jesus. You are Christ and Lord and Savior. You have lifted me up out of the fleshy mire and set me on a higher place.

I call on you, Lord, and you hear me. We commune day by day and thought by thought. You are always with me, and you are active in every event in my life.

You deliver me, Lord, and you honor me, Lord, way beyond anything I deserve. You give me a long satisfying life, and I live filled with your salvation.

Your grace and sweetness fill me, Lord, and you use me, as you see fit, to do your work in my little part of time and space. Yes, you establish the work of my hands. 

Psalm 84; Colossians 3; Psalm 84

Father, you are the Lord of Hosts. I trust in you, and I am blessed. You, my God, are my sun and my shield. You have filled me with your grace and your glory. You have accounted to me the righteousness of Christ Jesus, and no good thing do you withhold from me.

Now I am hidden in the heavens with my Lord Jesus. How lovely it is to dwell with you, oh, Lord of Hosts. My soul is overwhelmed by your courts. My heart and lips cry out to you, my God of Life.

I have found a home with you. You are my God and King. I am blessed to dwell in your house forever.

My strength is in you and from you. My heart ceaselessly seeks to walk with you. I am filled with you, Father, and led by you from strength to strength.

Nothing is better than to be your man, and to live in your court. 

Psalm 65&63

I am blessed because you chose me, Father. You drew me to you, and I came. Now, through faith, I am born from above, and I dwell in your courts. I have learned to be content and to stand in your great grace.

Through Christ Jesus’s life and death and resurrection, you perfected righteousness and credited that righteousness to my account. Now my answer is, I am in Christ, and Christ is in me, and thereby, I belong to you, Father, the God of Salvation.

You are my God. Early and always, I seek you. My soul thirsts for you and is satisfied. Your loving kindness is life itself, and my soul is fully satisfied as if fed with perfect food.

I praise you with my words. My lips are joyful. I am covered under the shadow of your wings. I stay close to you always, and your right hand upholds me! 

Romans 5&6

Father, your word has come to me, and it is clear that sin abounds, but where sin abounds, grace abounds much more. Sin reigned in death, but now, hallelujah, grace reigns, through righteousness, to eternal life through Jesus Christ, my Lord.

By Jesus’s obedience, I, along with many others, am made righteous. I have received the abundance of your grace, Father, and I have received of your gift of righteousness through faith in Christ Jesus, my Lord. Now I reign over death with your everlasting life.

I am raised from the dead by your glory, Father, so that now I walk in the newness of life.

My old man is crucified with Christ so that sin in my body is rendered powerless, and I am no longer a slave to sin.

Therefore, sin no longer reigns in my mortal body, nor do I obey it in its lusts. Now, by the abundance of your grace, Father, and by the gift of your righteousness, Lord Jesus, I am free from sin, and I have become your bond servant.

I belong to you forever. I live now in the fruit of your holiness, Father, and in the end, everlasting life.

Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 5; Romans 7

Thank you, Father, that though I was at one time a slave to sin, yet now, I have obeyed from my heart the doctrine shown to me by your holy scripture and witnessed to me by your Holy Spirit, and I have been set free from sin.

Now I have gladly become a slave to righteousness. First of all to the righteousness of Christ Jesus, which perfects me for fellowship with you, Father. A righteousness accomplished and completed once for all time, solely by Christ, and imputed to my credit. You, Father, made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for me, that I could become your divine righteousness in him.

Secondly, I in my new nature do put my old fleshy man to death, and live in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. The letter of the law is spiritual, but I am still carnal. Sometimes what I want to do, that I do not practice, but praise God, I still want to live righteous, Father.

So in my flesh, nothing good dwells. But my new man, my new inward man, delights in your law, Father, and wars against my flesh, and reckons my flesh dead to sin and alive unto righteousness, Father. Praise you, Father, Christ has delivered me from this body of death!

Psalm 62; Hebrews 7; 2 Corinthians 5; Psalm 91

By your grace and choice and call, Father, my soul is joined with you. You have sent Jesus, your Christ, to me, and he is my rock. He is my salvation. He is my defense. He makes intercession for me daily. He is my righteousness. I stand firm and solid in your grace.

I dwell with you, Most High, and you make your abode with me. You are my refuge and my dwelling place. No evil befalls me, and no plague comes near me.

You, Father, have given your angels charge over me. I am filled with your Holy Spirit, who keeps me in all of your ways. You cover me. You guide me. You give me wisdom to tread safely and accurately through this world, day by day and thought by thought.

I commune with you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I call on you, and you answer. You are with me in all of life‘s circumstances. You deliver me, and you honor me way beyond anything I deserve – grace, great grace!

You satisfy me with long life, and you fill my vision with your glorious salvation. 

Psalm 119: 169-175; Psalm 121

Thank you, Lord, that you have given me understanding through your word. You have delivered me according to your word. My lips praise you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You teach me your statutes. My tongue speaks your living word. Righteousness is in your commandments. I choose your precepts, Father.

I live in your salvation, Lord Jesus, and I look forward to your day. Your word is my delight. By your grace, my soul lives, and I praise you with all my strength and heart.

I lift up my eyes to you, Father, and you fill me with your strength. You, who made heaven and earth, are my God and a very present help in all of life.

You keep me firm in my faith and hope. You are always with me and guard me. You keep me, and you encourage me.

You preserve me from evil. You fill me with your eternal life. You watch over each day of my life and each step that I take, now and forevermore.
