Psalm 94 Vengeance

Lord take care of the vengeance needed for our troubles; it is Yours to do when and if it is required, just reveal Yourself in it that I might know.

I exalt Your wisdom: restore the benefit of wisdom to those who are mature in You.

Lord, how long will You enable those who walk in condemnation, guilt, and give overwhelming humiliation toward Your people.

How long do we endure their arrogance and practices of narcissistic behavior?

Their degradation and demeaning attitudes cause emotional depression within the minds Your heritage.

These people literally annihilate those who are desolate within their thinking; the sense of bereavement and loneliness has taken a toll on the morale of Your people.

Arrogance will not see the work You do within Your people, nor do they see the need for self-control.

This behavior reflects attitudes of the depraved barbarian among Your people: But they are ignorant, when will they understand these carnal attitudes and behaviors?

Don't they get it? It is You Lord who formed the ear so we might hear; it is You who created the eyes so we might see.

Can the carnal man comprehend it is You who instructs and corrects mankind; You discipline and can humiliate with Your knowledge and righteousness?

It is the Lord who makes us aware of the thoughts and purpose of mankind; we cannot because we are empty and vain.

It takes a valiant person whom You have chosen to instruct and discipline mankind, You teach him Your ways of justice;

You give peace within our thinking and wisdom for problem solving to bring understanding for those who walk in condemnation and guilt.

You do not reject Your chosen, nor will You relinquish Your inheritance.

Our enlightenment is restored; and all those who are healthy in attitude, behaviors, and motives will walk in transparency.

It is the choices of mankind that establishes me against those who are evil within their thinking. Who will decide to make a stand against those who practice arrogance and unjustness?

You Lord are our defense mechanism; I am apathetic and my reality is numb because of these circumstances.

If I start thinking about my inadequacies and feel insecure, Your kind rebuke and merciful reprimand sustains and refreshes me.

The abundant thoughts within my mind accepts Your compassion and receives Your reality of this situation.

You will not have a relationship with those who are perverted within their thinking: I will not worry when You determine to correct my attitudes and behaviors.

The carnal thinker will conspire against the transparent reality of Your Word and condemn the lives of Your innocents.

But You Lord are our defense; You are the hope, trust, and confidence of Your people.

You Lord will renounce all of this; You reject this choice of stress and sorrow from mankind. You are the God of peace, joy, and hope.

Psalm 91 Character

I am established in the protection of You, Supreme Restorer, and I can endure anything. I remain under the defense of Your protection, Almighty God.

I have determined within my thinking to be with You Lord; You are the trust and stronghold of my mental health: it is in You where my confidence and security remains.

It is Your defense and preservation that keeps my mind from the pitfall of compromise and confusion.

You are my protection Lord, defend me from the humiliation of the carnal tongue of mankind. You are my hope and boldness; it is Your stability that is my defense mechanism and safeguard of security.

I will not display these feelings of fear in times of adversity nor the wounds that come from each growing season.

The torment grows into anger; then insolence is obvious within my attitude and behaviors. My character is being tested and revealed.

I must discipline my emotional feelings to accept the abundance of strength that self-control can achieve; I will not allow a lack of discipline to control my character.

Only You can see the affliction that is within my rational being; only You can see the need for the restoration within my condemned attitudes and behaviors.

I am determined to change this and commit myself to Your will for my life: that is my hope, confidence, and boldness. To be restored by Your supreme restoration is now my occupation.

I will not allow evil motives to prosper in anguish within my being; and fight any wound of torment to approach my place in You.

It is Your will Lord to give Your angels command over my rational soul; and those I love, You will protect and guide safely.

This security brings encouragement as well as enlightenment to my thinking; their influence disbands any insecurity as a mental obstacle of doubt.

I walk with courage but also am aware of the diabolic theology that prevails: the pretense, facades, and pacifying monsters that is around the people of God. The display of insecurity within the carnal nature of mankind.

You reveal an attitude of love toward me Lord; also have given me a spirit of emancipation that directs my choices. I am well established in Your security and enlightenment. I have identified with Your definite and conspicuous position of spirit, mark of individuality within my soul, and honorable character within my flesh.

You call Lord, I answer: You are with me during times of anguish whether I feel it or not. You Lord are my strength and honor.

You reveal Yourself to me: I desire a long life of service to You. You are the satisfaction within my rational being.

Psalm 37 Helplessness

I am not jealous of individuals who are apt to act out disgracefully; neither be envious of those who are conceited or self-righteous. This behavior is wrong.

These motives will be circumcised and the foreskin of the flesh will be stripped away and die.

I am confident and secure in Your ability, Lord, and choose to do well; I am established in You, my stability will be strengthened and grow into maturity.

I am satisfied in the presence of You Lord; I will reach the goals of my identity, self understanding, and personal responsibility.

I desire to make an honest commitment concerning my lifestyle and the motives of my behaviors to You Lord; I confide in You during prayer, I trust You to do great things to fulfill my life.

Your authority is established as insight to righteousness within me, my vindication comes with Your anointing.

I will becalmed and wait on You Lord, I embrace the pain and allow the genesis of maturity to be formed in me: I will not become angry, legalistic, or demand prosperity in my lifestyle or be purely self-absorbed.

I will cease from harboring resentment and relinquish the poison of rage: I will not enable negative behaviors to spoil my walk with You. These attitudes and behaviors will do harm to myself and to those with whom I associate.

Anyone who would purposely inflict harm or behave arrogantly for pleasure or the attention of it will be lost in his carnal nature. I choose to act righteously and possess confidence.

For a short time, those who condemn and walk in quiet will be dysfunctional. Trying to understand and analyze the condition of their attitudes and behaviors. But, will not be able to figure it out.

The individual who is rational in thinking, needy in circumstances, or humble in spirit will receive the confidence that is needed. They will be satisfied with abundant health, favor, and spiritual prosperity.

Yet individuals who choose to condemn and walk in guilt, and gossip deceitful lies against innocent people will themselves be bit with slander.

The Lord finds this ludicrous: He knows that the justifying adversity against people will be brought to an end.

Spiteful attitudes and amoral behaviors cause individuals to lose control and become destructive. They become determined to be judgmental to those who are depressed or deprived in their mental capacity. This is to nullify the influence of You within their communication.

This destructive effect will begin in their understanding of their own ideology; within their identity their judgmental attitudes will birth their own judgment.

The minimal suffering that a righteous person goes through is much better than the accepted and opulent lifestyle of these who are corrupt and damned.

The effectiveness and security of the condemned will be broken: but the Lord establishes and sustains His righteousness.

It is You Lord who orders our new beginnings and growth stages, mandates protection to those who are birthing, and directs those who are upright in their thinking: the inheritances of these are eternal.

I will not be shamed during times of calamity, stress, or sorrow: I will be satisfied during these times of destitution.

It is the individuals who choose to be wicked who loses their identity; the acts of hatred within their carnal nature will be transparent even to the young: their wickedness will end their anger will cease.

The wicked can emotionally and physically deplete the natural resources and energy; they do not care about anything or anyone. Knowing this, the righteous give mercy to all who need it.

The righteous is blessed and will inherit confidence; the wicked will curse their loss of identity.

The motivation and behaviors of a righteous individual is prepared, established, and applied by You Lord, who is our God. This person delights in learning the stability within God's ideal lifestyle.

There have been times I feel inferior or insecure, but I do not let go or feel rejected by God: the Lord establishes and sustains me with His power, means, and direction.

With each new beginning of a growth stage and right through to the very end I have not seen the righteous commit to himself, only to God and His righteousness. This attitude is what sustains them; they do not fail, nor are left destitute, nor are the young that they have birthed strive to be fed.

God is ever merciful and remains steadfast; the fruit of this birthing process is spiritually prosperous.

Stay clear from people who condemn and walk in their own guilt; live abundantly in the Lord's attitude and behavior suggested lifestyle.

You Lord love justice and will not relinquish Your child; You guard and protect him forever. But those who choose to be wicked will be cast out from Your presence.

I choose Your righteousness and want to inherit Your confidence and dwell therein always.

The words of the righteous manifests wisdom within their intellect, behavior, and motivation; they desire to be an instrument of Your praise. They choose to understand and teach the vindication and consequences of Your dynamics of life on this earth.

These practical rules for behavior are present in the understanding and awareness of Your Word; none of Your motivations or behaviors will vacillate.

Individuals who are corrupt scrutinize with vigilance the behavior and attitudes of the servants of God, they do not cleanse themselves before the Lord. These corrupt individuals strive to kill the ministry of God's servants, as well as their name and reputation.

The Lord will not abandon His servants to these who scrutinize, use corrupt power, or destructive motives; but will vindicate them or if need be guide them through a consequence.

I wait and have great expectations in You Lord. Your lifestyle and motives are perfect for me; You will enable Your confidence within my emotional thinking; when these who chose to condemn are disinherited. I will remember and discern this.

I have seen the oppressors in the tyrannical power inflict abuse to the unsuspecting, advertise and propagate the prosperity of their spontaneous growth; maturity within their emotional well being be set as a model for mankind.

Yet when provoked, these in power are weakened to a carnal nature and lost the facade: I look to counsel them and tried to console them, but they were gone.

I realized I must guard and protect any individual who is striving for spiritual wholeness and then discern the true nature of his character: for the ultimate results of striving for peace in God.

Yet there are others who have rebelled. They continue to be disgruntled and violate others to the point of desolation: the results of the striving are destructive, maybe even to the death.

The transparency of the Lord's salvation is in the righteousness of His people; You are our strength in the time of stress and adversity.

It is You Lord who enables protection, allowing us to birth the young, and deliver us from any carnal motivation: You are the avenger and will vindicate us from the cruel slanderers. You will comfort us when we confide and hope in You.

Psalm 32 Forgiven

How very happy and relieved I am when my rebellion is forgiven; my sin is not only forgiven but forgotten also.

I am so grateful the Lord doesn't call into account my faults; and whose identity is being regenerated from treachery and deceit.

I practice hard to conceal these faults and sin, but the weight of it breaks apart the awareness of a facade; the revelation protests a new beginning or growth stage that I am experiencing.

As with every new beginning darkness conceals Your definite and conspicuous position of faith, mark of individuality in spirit, and honorable character within my life. This was grievous to me in one instance but wonderful to me the next: my joy turned to cynicism and was a harvest of dread. Stop and think about that.

I finally recognized my offense to You, my faults were transparent. I said that I would confess this to You and I did: You in turn forgave my iniquity. Stop and think about that.

Anyone who finds themselves in this situation will pray to You for help in due season: the cleansing of our identity will not be weakened in You, Lord.

You are the hiding place for protection; You will guard and maintain me through this anguish: You will surround me on every side with Your poetical composition of redemption. Stop and think about that.

You Lord will instruct and guide me in the type of lifestyle, attitudes, and behaviors I should walk in: You will resolve my issues and advise me with knowledge in Your presence.

I will not act out in my own strength or natural impulses in order to carry this burden; I need Your discernment to expose what the issue really is: this entrapment lacks restraint for whatever purpose it perceives.

Much of the grief to me will be the consequences of the guilt: I will decide to confide in You Lord, then find the kindness that surrounds You.

I am glad and rejoice in the Lord because I found Your righteousness: I shout for joy because the awareness I have gives understanding to my identity in You.

Psalm 27 Enlightenment

Lord You perfect my perception, discernment, transparency, and spiritual prosperity; should I be fearful or revere mankind? You are my reassurance and refuge; whom should I be suspicious of or feel anxious toward?

I know people who are friends to my face but are full of pretense behind my back, with acts of hatred within their carnal nature devouring my human frailties. I thank You that these individuals were unsuccessful and overwhelmed within their own dynamics.

Our society promotes arrogant ideas that are against my identity and understanding of You, but I choose not to be fearful: it feels like an all consuming battle that is formative against me, but I stand confident in You. There are things I need Your help in and adamantly strive for; to be established as a builder of the family name, a restorer of Your people all the days of my life; to mentally comprehend Your grace and care for Your people with a sense of Your capacity.

Whenever I am distressed or sorrowful, You esteem me within Your unifying defense: with Your intimate covering You preserve my transparency, You set me on Your solid foundation.

I will lift the venerable part of my insecurity toward You to reveal the acts of hatred within my carnal nature. It surrounds my thinking on every side: I must learn to sacrifice this work of flesh so that I might be esteemed in joy; I will sing and praise You, Lord.

Discern my cries: have mercy upon me and respond to my prayer.

Your Word has taught me to seek Your face and favor through prayer and worship; my identity responds to Your love and approval. So I continue to pursue Your presence.

Do not conceal Your favor or presence from me; do not push me to the point of losing my peace of mind: You have always been my help, do not leave or relinquish me.
God, You are my salvation.

When my parental responsibilities were fulfilled, You restored to me a sense of purpose.

Instruct my attitudes and motives Lord guide me in righteous behaviors. I have feelings of overwhelming hostilities.

Do not enable these distressed antagonisms to control my identity: liars and slanderers gossip about me, this deceit causes unjust violence with their mouths.

I was exhausted but my integrity remained strong in the Lord and I will survive because of Your courage within me.

To wait on the Lord means can I strengthen and encouraged myself in Your Word; this fortifies my understanding and awareness: be alert soul; I would say, trust in the Lord.

Psalm 22 Feelings of Abandonment

You are my strength and my God; I feel like You have let go of my life, I do not like that feeling. Why do I feel that You are distancing Yourself from me? Your security and presence are far from me, I feel alone and in emotional pain.

I cry with every new experience or developmental growth stage of my existence, but this time I have no answer from You: this time has been a difficult adverse season that causes my mind to scream.

I know that You are holy, it is You who establishes the church and the people in her. I know she will prevail.

My spiritual forefathers had total confidence in You; they had boldness and security in Your presence, because of their steadfast faith, You committed Yourself to them.

When they cried to You, they were preserved and stabled: their trust in You was never an issue and they were not disappointed.

Unlike my forefathers, I am tormented with insecurity, I am numb with grief: a disgrace and defamed by gossips, disesteemed and rejected by my own family.

It seems like everyone who knows me ridicules anything I say or do, they have abandoned me. They mock me with words and behaviors that sting, they shun my extended hand of fellowship.

I commit these attitudes to You Lord, but I feel like running away from it all: they say I relied on You, then You rejected me and laughed because I felt favored among the believers.

You are the one who gave me new life and another reason for living: You did give me a reason for hope, even when I was just a spiritual babe.

I was dedicated to You by my mother from birth: You have been my God from conception and You are my God now.

Please do not be distant now Lord; I feel the time of anguish causing this distress is gripping my throat; there is no protection or counsel for me in this situation but You.

Many frustrations, disappointments, and defeats have surrounded my past: strong trials have taught lessons of self control and have given me the ability to wait.

Humanity has ripped me apart with slander and lies, with devouring and rabid gossip they have shattered my name.

I am emotionally exhausted and physically weak, I am disassociated from any inner strength, my strong will and intellectual understanding is in rage; I am in the full grip of fear and grief, which is the source of my insecurity.

My emotional strength is shamefully broken and my ability is useless: my words are hard and indifferent, full of sarcasm; I am reduced to the mental state of depression.

The unbelievers taunt me and the hypocrites ridicule plague my thinking: believers display themselves friendly to my face but attack with sarcasm behind my back: they have broken my heart and my fellowship of trust is now slander.

I can chronicle the strength of my being, so I might analyze and discern my motives.

I feel stripped and naked mentally, spiritually, and socially; people wager to see how long it will be before I am destroyed in every area of my life.

Do not be distant to me now Lord: You are the very strength that will vindicate me.

Defend and preserve my identity from this cutting force and its destructive affect; rescue my self-esteem from the slander of the unbeliever and hypocrite.

Free me from these violent attitudes and critical behaviors: I know You can respond to me with compassion and power.

I will validate Your definite position in my faith, mark of individuality within my mental health, and honorable character within my life to all who know me: I will be transparent and enlightened by Your favor.

Let anyone who is reverent in the Lord, praise Him with me: all of you who are His children, glorify Him with me: stand in awe of His greatness, all of you who are conceived by His love, can now be ruled by His love.

Our God has not, nor will He despise the humility of those depressed [emotionally or spiritually]; neither has he concealed His presence from mankind. When anyone cries for help our Lord will answer, He discerns His own.

My transparency is in the Lord and will be seen by the multitude: I will keep my promises to God.

Those who are teachable will be spiritually and emotionally nurtured to health and fulfill their calling: they will be enlightened before the Lord and pursue Him diligently: they in turn will restore and nourish all believers who listen.

Mankind from every generation will remember this and have the chance to serve the Lord: all believing nations will worship the Lord our God.

This universe is the Lord's: He is our counselor, ruler, and the almighty power of every nation.

The people who are wealthy in His favor will give reverence: all those who are humble will worship Him, there is no one who can restore or nurture mankind in his own identity.

The conception of righteousness only begins in Him: this will be celebrated in every generation of mankind.

We choose to come and stand boldly to declare His faithfulness to anyone that will choose to grow in maturity and commit to His service.

Psalm 10 Arrogance

Lord, I feel abandoned by You. I feel a barrier between You and I, even while praying during this time of despair.

Those who are so self-righteousness brag about harassing individuals who are depressed: allow these taunts of others be felt in their own life.

These motives purposely hurt believers, the self-righteous take satisfaction in carnal motives and greed; The Lord truly despises this attitude.

Wicked choices and carnal passions do not allow the individual to pursue God: God is not and will not be in any part of their lives.

It is this choice of the perverted lifestyle that causes the emotional pain and spiritual wounds within their lives: God's righteousness and judgements are denied or ignored, people justify their positions of self-indulgence with placation or mockery.

Their reassurance is by the repetition of self absorbed rhetoric so nothing will shake their pseudo confidence; it's the mind over matter ideology and they are in control of their choices: they do not allow feeling of righteous conviction into their conscience.

Deceivers speak words that appeal to the soulish nature of mankind, but evil arrogance is hidden in private agendas; hatred is revealed through words of treachery and sarcasm: their motives are vain and their words are full of empty promises.

They place themselves in positions of importance and trust, only to act as an enabler who will entrap anyone feeling insecure within their identity: deceivers conceal their intent to destroy the unsuspecting: their secret motives of destruction are well hidden.

They patiently wait to violate people who have become self-reliant in their own thinking: they prey on those who are emotionally unstable literally depressed; they may even succeed if they can lure them with their manipulative charm.

The facade of this deceiver is one of a broken and contrite character, a pretense of being oppressed and humbled; there are people who will accept even applaud this false ploy.

This attitude is demonstrated when this individual thinks God does not pay attention or will even remember His people: his reality is that God looks the other way and cannot discern the motives and behaviors of mankind.

Reveal Yourself to us Lord, for Your wondrous glory is greater than any deception mankind can render: You know the motives of mankind and remember those who adore You.

Just who do these people think they are, to spurn or renounce You as God? Because God does give grace and is patiently waiting on truth to become a reality in their lives, do they really think He will not call them into account for their evil choices?

The Lord watches and discerns the attitudes and behaviors of mankind; He looks intently at the anger and anxiety we bring into our own lives: those of you who have wretched lifestyles commit yourselves to the Lord; He is your comfort when you feel alone and bereaved.

Cripple the bonds of those who choose to provoke misery in the lives of others: require accountability of those who have self-absorbed motives.

The Lord God will reign forever within my mind, will, and emotional well-being, that is my choice: mankind will lose their true sense of identity unless they come face to face with God.

Only the Lord can discern the rationale of a depressed soul: He is the stability of the feelings, will, and understanding of mankind's emotional pain. He can only succeed if they allow Him to do so.

Vindicate this reality and make clear our rationale thinking, so that our natural instincts and spiritual well-being will not separate our presence from You Lord.

Psalm 9 Awareness

I adore You Lord with every fabric of my identity: my body in work, my soul in worship, and my mind in study of Your Word. I celebrate Your wondrous accomplishments within my being.

You brighten my day for which I am thankful: I sing praise to Your definite and conspicuous position within my walk, the mark of individuality within my life, and in Your honorable character I place my trust. You are my supreme restoration and my God.

When acts of hatred or works of the flesh manifest within me or against me, please restore the awareness of Your position, individuality, and character in my identity so that I can make the choice of not losing my presence and favor with you.

Because You nurture my determination and nourish my purpose, I give You the control to vindicate my motives and rationale to those who do not understand how You work through Your children.

You disapprove and reprimand the individual whose choice is rebellion, You allow the ungodly to lose their identity in You, You have allowed their acts of hatred to control their thinking, their behaviors reveal this.

Those of you who continuously choose these works of your flesh to control your motives, devastation will be your end, all truth and confidence will be gone from you: by your own choices, you have pulled out by the roots any awareness of identity with God; if there is any recollection as a son of God, it will disappear.

But our Lord has established Himself with us and will remain our God forever: He has established His authority within us as His judgment.

And He has given this planet and all who dwell in it, reason for being. He has given us the choice to minister a healthy defense mechanism to deal with our own works of the flesh, and we will be virtuous in our self-esteem.

The Lord is also a safe haven for those feeling depressed, humiliated, and afflicted: a secure support system in these times of anguish and trouble.

Everyone acknowledges and understands Your definite and conspicuous position in my life whether they admit it or not; my confidence is in You. You Lord do not desert those who choose to worship You and Your identity.

People who love God, display your transparency in Him, all of you who inhabit His love and identity in your lives: stand firm in what you know, be bold, and tell everyone about the life changing effect He has had in your life.

When blood was required for our cleansing, He provided the sacrifice; it was a definite mark of individuality for us to be recognized by Him: He does not forget the cry of those depressed, whether mentally, spiritually, or physically.

Give me favor in You Lord; help me to discern and understand the depression I face from those who personally hate me, only You can help me comprehend this mental state of ruin:

I need Your cognizant power for my identity as a builder of the family name; I thank You for the awareness of You within my life.

The rebellious are drowning in the destruction of their own choices ruled by their own will; these lies, hidden agendas, and evil motives make them losers at their own psychological ploy.

The Lord is known for His perfect justice which He deliberately executes: it is the individual who chooses these works of the flesh as a lifestyle, who are entrapped by these same attitudes and behaviors; this choice make them self-serving victims. Stop and think about that.

The self-deceived will conform to the state of mental, emotional, and spiritual ruin. They have decided not to recognize or follow the precepts of a healthy spiritual life.

For those who are spiritually deprived or emotionally devastated have confidence in God's strength and ability. He loves you: all of your hope for identity is not lost.

Sustain us Lord; do not allow humanity to be strong within our identity; allow individuals to be vindicated and restored for Your purpose.

Place the fear of reality within the human frailty Lord: remind mankind that we are mere human beings designed and created by and for You. Stop and think about that.

Psalm 8 Individuality

Lord You are my Lord, powerful is Your definite and conspicuous position within my life, You mark of individuality gives me ownership, and honorable character give me identity as Your son. It is Your direction and restoration that is Your glory to mankind and above all human understanding.

From the mind of Your young ones, even the spiritual babes speak of Your established strength within their being because the acts of hatred fail them and You teach us to stop holding grudges.

I not only teach but learn also about Your insights and enlightenment's within my soul; also the labor and operation of Your capable hands establish the universe we dwell in.

I ponder within my thoughts, what is so special about the human race that You would mark us individually with Your love? We are the builders of the family name for all of humanity, whom You are totally committed to. You choose to commune with us!

You chose to make us with less power than Your angels which was wisdom on Your part; yet You encircle us with Your divine protection and presence.

You have entrusted mankind with the labor and operation of this earth: You have appointed all things on this planet under our care and control.

Birds that fly, and all that swim in Your magnificent sea are in Your control.

Lord, You are my Lord, how powerful is Your definite and conspicuous position in my life, Your mark of individuality as my ownership, and honorable character within my identity as Your son.

Psalm 7 Vindication

Lord You are my God, I have chosen to place my confidence in You: please nurture and sustain me from these people who choose to oppress and discriminate against me, and help me to endure this trial.

There are those with ungodly attitudes who devour my character with ravenous cruelty, tearing my identity to bits, there is no one who has come to my defense.

Dear Father in heaven You know my motives, if I have purposely done anything close to what they have accused me of, then I ask for Your conviction upon my soul;

If I premeditated any of these schemes against one person, especially those I worship with [I have purposely ignored those who spread gossip]:

Then enable these acts of hatred to torment my inner being, allow all this abuse to disturb my rest, allow these works of the flesh to oppress my confidence in You and my self esteem to be pulverized. Stop and think about that.

Do something Lord, anything, get angry with these attitudes, put an end to these acts of hatred which my adversaries have chosen as their behaviors: open Your eyes Lord and just demand they stop.

Enable these believers to be surrounded by Your presence: judge my behaviors and attitudes Lord, and on my behalf return Your compassion to me according to everything You know about me.

Please stop this slanderous hatred coming from these people; but give enlightenment and wisdom to those who seek Your face and favor: because You are a righteous God and You prove the motives of my mind, will, and emotional well-being.

You are my defense mechanism Lord; who vindicates my character that directly affects my self-esteem and confidence.

God You will judge the righteous motives and the individuals who choose to abide in them; but You are not pleased if we deliberately destroy His people with our mouth. It angers You.

God will prepare chosen instruments to wound our rebellious state of mind with reproach and reproof: He will allow those who choose to slander and gossip to reap what they have sown.

Just look how the human race prefers to pledge themselves to trouble and then think they look superior, this is nothing but vanity; which in turn causes misery and anxiety not to mention exhaustion from keeping up the facade.

The more they gossip the more they weave a web that entangles their own lives; their own tongues will destroy their character and reputation.

Anxiety that they have caused will be ever present within their own lives and dull their thinking; these choices cause this turmoil within their conscience.
I worship and trust in the Lord because He is consistently righteous and I will sing praises of His definite and conspicuous position in my life. His is the maker of my individuality; He molds my character for His purpose. He is my vindicator and restorer, because I let Him.

Psalm 6 Mercy

Lord, Please do not reprimand me with a disapproval tone, even though I deserve it, neither discipline me while You are offended by my attitudes or behaviors unbecoming to Your honor.
Please use Your constant sense of compassion with me right now: I am pathetic and overwhelmed: Lord, repair the inner soul of my being, I am fearful, anxious, and depressed.
I am completely unstable in my identity without You: Lord, how long will I feel this way?
Restore Your presence to me Lord, strengthen my individuality with Your mercy: preserve me for Your service today.
I am devastated in living in this mind set of suppression, I think about everything but You: I am in the state of mental decay; I can't praise, read Your word, or even cry in prayer because of this mental condition.
I am emotionally exhausted with fighting this mental turmoil: i agonize in tears constantly: I agonize day and night.
All I see or understand is my justified position that torments my mind: to add to this grief there are those who use this circumstance to be vindictive toward me.
Why don't they just leave me alone, yes, all of you who waited for this opportunity to take potshots of hatred with your remarks while I am in pain, your acts of hatred reveal your true relationship with me; but my Lord has understood my pain from the beginning and will see me through this, not any of you.
The Lord God has discerned this condition and with His wisdom has considered my prayers; He is the judge of my intercession and counsel.
Reveal these acts of hatred, one by one Lord, allow them to cause me to be anxious so that I will change: if ever these attitudes start to take root within my soul, allow conviction to instantly remind me of the shame it will bring to Your glory.

Psalm 5 Guidance

Dear God please be attentive to the expressions of my concerns, please discern my broken and emotional disorder.
Be ever cognizant of my complaint, my Counselor, my God because it is only You who can judge my intercession.
I thank You for recognizing my voice and deciding to give me instruction for this new beginning [growth stage] that I choose to face; and with each stage of this new beginning I battle within myself to exhaustion and then give up to beg for Your guidance.
It is not within Your righteousness plan to be please with my bad attitudes and/or wrong behaviors; ei..condemning others or going into denial: neither will any of mankind's negative attributes be found in Your glory.
Anyone who chooses to create a facade cannot stand steadfast in Your knowledge or presence: You despise all negative attitudes and behaviors whether publicly or in secret, anything that mankind would choose to practice to deceive.
You Lord will allow those who purpose in their heart to spread gossip or lies to lose their identity in You: I know Lord, You detest the murdering of innocents [whether by tongue or weapon], You also abhor the practice of deceitful manipulation, betrayal, and fraud.
It is my choice to dwell in Your presence and thank You for Your needful rebuke of love toward me: I choose to humble myself in Your presence and give all my reverence to You.
Guide me Lord, because it is in Your righteous rebuke where my feelings of hostilities are revealed and a new beginning is created in me by Your power.
I do not trust the ideological counsel within the knowledge of man from which I cannot rely or depend: their motivational instruction utters perverse words that damage godly convictions; and their words of advise placates the carnal desires of mankind; they justify their motives for personal gain.
Reveal their destructive theories and motives God, cause their arrogant teachings to be revealed as the self absorbed psycho-babble it really is; reveal their sinful attitudes and behaviors that are steeped in the lust of their flesh; disinherit those who choose to be willfully disobedient to You.
Enable those who choose to confide in You to rejoice: allow us to praise Your definite and conspicuous position with joy, because You protect and defend us: we love Your mark of identity upon us and the honorable character that only You can satisfy our souls with.
Only You Lord can bless those who choose to walk in righteousness: we adore how You encircle us with Your approval and acceptance.

Psalm 4 Acceptance

Please pay attention to my emotional distress, Father of my transparency: you have given understanding to this depression that causes my oppression; have compassion upon me and listen to my pain with Your infinite wisdom.
Those of you who are builders of the family name, how long will you bring shame to the name of our God? Do you not know that this brings wounds to His honor and glory? Why do you purposely determine to develop sinful behaviors that feed your lustful nature; only to search for ways to justify your positions, this is lying to yourself? Stop and think about what you are doing!
You should know that the Lord calls us into separation [from secular attitudes and behaviors], a genuine person, who is transparent for His purpose: the Lord Himself is cognizant of and understands our cries when we pray.
Brothers and sister be humble and reverent before the Lord, stop the justifying of your attitudes and behaviors: quietly meditate within your own minds, in your quiet times, just shut up and listen. Stop and think about that.
Relinquish your self-protective practices and positions, and place your confidence in the Lord. Be transparent before Him.
The news mongers say: who can reveal any authenticity within their dynamics? Lord, the answer is You. You are our comprehending brilliance that gives us the confidence in transparency for Your favor.
You Lord have returned the comforting joy in my mental and spiritual well being, even the inspiration of Your word has restored the enlightenment within my soul.
I surrender my self-determination for Your fellowship, and my unhealthy indifference for restoration: Only You Lord can establish and confirm my bold confidence.

Psalm 3 Trust

My Lord there are individuals who have chosen to cause anguish and distress within my life; I feel that everyone around me has declared hatred toward me.
Their gossip has caused anxiety within my sense of worth; I feel depressed and need your refreshing touch. It is being said that there is no spiritual well-being for me in you Lord. Stop and think about that.
I know Lord that You are my support system even when I don't feel it in my bones; I know that You are my only defense mechanism, this has been the only encouragement within my understanding.
I am transparent before You Lord, with every ounce of my being, and I am enlightened because even in Your sacred position You still hear me. Stop and think about that.
My spiritual well-being and refreshing only comes from Your presence; then I am ready to do the call of the responsibility You have placed within my life; it is You who establishes, and it is You who will vindicate me.
I choose not to be fearful of the slanderer and opinions of mankind, even when their false words spread throughout this community.
Enable Your endurance within me Lord, so that I may accomplish Your will, O my God: I have seen how You deal with these who choose hatred as a lifestyle; You will expose this hostility and their troubled behaviors.
My health and spiritual well-being are held in Your capable hands: Your devotion is given to those of us who adore You.

Psalm 2 Control

Why do the secularist become so militant against the Lord and His people; and the human race follow blindly with their vain desire for praise [need of itching ears] and pseudo intellect?
For those who choose to control their own destiny this attitude will appoint yourselves as leaders and teachers of arrogance and pseudo-self confidence; teaching all who choose to listen to the false indoctrinate of security that may instruct the public to turn from the truth of God's Word.
This facade will undermine His discipline and instruction that God has for us; it may literally tear our faith apart and throw out any moral influence it might have on our society and it's future.
What you don't know is that it is God who establishes the enlightenment within us; the ridicule reveals the arrogance of your own false theology.
God does allow certain circumstances and people in our life to confront and subdue ignorant attitudes and ungodly behaviors; this will cause great anxiety and stress. You will become agitated with anger.
But as for me, I choose to establish my self-esteem of enlightenment as a guiding pillar for His glory.
I will manifest His ministry within my lifestyle for His glory; because the Lord has said to me: you are a builder of the family name; this is a new beginning [growth stage] for you, I have made you a midwife. You will also bear young ones for my names sake.
If you ask this of me, I will give you the secularist and their children for your inheritance, also the utmost confidence is now within your habitation.
You will be able to help them to discipline their attitudes and intellect for fruitful behaviors, and also be a cutting instrument to sharpen their strength; you will become God's creative instrument to them and honor God in this process.
Use wisdom all of you who teach and give counsel: take instruction and listen to instruction all of those who think you can vindicate yourselves.
Give service to the Lord with reverence, and rejoice because this stimulates others to do the same in attitude and behaviors toward His glory.
Embrace the intimacy of the Lord and accept these who are the builders of the family name, in turn they will not be discouraged in their walk; in being obedient you will not lose the identity caused by your own attitude and behavioral choices that may cause loss of regeneration. Peaceful contentment fills those of us who choose to place our trust in the Lord.

Psalm 1 Choices

I have determined not to devote or conduct myself toward a lifestyle of hypercritical attitudes or display ungodly behaviors, nor will I chose to establish an unethical walk in this life, nor inhabit a cynical existence, nor entertain insolence.
I will choose to give my mind over to the reasonable counsel and confrontation of our Lord; and I am determined to focus in His consistent instruction.
My heart's desire is to live in faith and to be grounded as a channel of His security, as I grow and bear the fruit of His choosing; I do not want to be weak, foolish, or disgrace Him in any way; and whatever He has chosen for me, I know that I will thrive and honor Him.
Those who chose to have [or display] a self-reliant attitude with a need of attention and praise or are committed to self-protective behaviors lack the understanding in the work of affliction and love to get carried away with their own self-importance.
As a result of egocentric choices, these individuals cannot endure righteous wisdom, reason, or perceptions of godly counsel.
For we know that only the Lord can discern and instruct our attitudes, behaviors, and motivations if we allow it: but those who choose rebellion and abuse His Word will be a degenerate and lose their spiritual identity.

Introduction

Webster defines paraphrase: "A restatement of the text, passage, or work giving the meaning another form; used as a process for understanding in a educational method." To STUDY scripture within God's Holy Word [alias: The Bible] one should NOT use a paraphrase. An individual should use a translation; ie..The New King James Version, The New International Version, The Amplified Version,etc. This paraphrase is used to broaden an understanding of one's opinion of one of the said translations of scripture. THIS IS A NONDENOMINATIONAL PARAPHRASE.
These understandings and opinions of this work come from a personal experience with Jesus Christ, God's Son and Our Savior; and a counseling practice for nearly thirty years. The author has paraphrased the Psalms for family, friends, and clients for comfort, direction, counsel, and guidance. Jeremiah 4:3 &4 "Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns, circumcise yourselves to the Lord and take away the foreskins of your heart. Ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire and burn that none can quench it, because of your evil doings."
This blog is intended for the mature Christians, who are struggling with personal trials, spiritual direction, or counsel in their walk with God. It may also be used for those who wish to give give comfort, direction, or counsel to someone that may be having difficulty within their spiritual walk.
Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countance of his friend." So friends, it is my desire to share my experiences in God's Word and my understanding of a personal relationship with Him: as a Father, a counselor, a friend, the Prince of Peace, and Almighty God.
Young or immature Christians may find this work harsh, direct, and hard to digest; for their pallets it is....
Please read the desired Psalm in a translation before reading the paraphrase. May the Holy Spirit enlighten your understanding and give the counsel of truth to your soul and or intellect of which that you seek.
