Psalm 92 Worship

It is healthy; mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually to worship the Lord our God. I sing Your praises of the definite and conspicuous position within my spirit, mark of individuality within my soul, and Your honorable character within my flesh.

I enjoy revealing Your kind compassion in every area of my life; Your stability is everywhere I look.

I am complete as an instrument in Your hands when I allow You to grow as a vessel of esteem within my rational being; my expression of gratitude is in every aspect of my work in and worship of You.

I understand all the attitudes and behaviors that comes from Your honorable character: I can accomplish anything You ask because it is done by Your power, means, and direction for my life.

Lord, I long for Your nurturing touch and nourishing Word to be complete within my dynamics. Your value to me is priceless and intense.

The carnality within mankind cannot comprehend or even recognize Your value to me; the understanding is beyond their reach.

The choices of the carnal leads to condemnation and guilt: they love the word of their own arrogance which only drives them to ruin.

It is You Lord, who is my exalted enlightenment for evermore.

There are adversities who choose the acts of hatred with their thinking against Your Word; their identity is lost and their unrighteous behaviors display the shame.

But You are my strength and will manifest Your conspicuous character within my being; it is Your anointing that keeps my faith and devotion fresh.

Admittedly, my conceit would like to see those who hate me come to their knees, my ears would love to hear their words of praise to You.

Never-the-less, I choose to be righteous in thinking and love in transparency; You are established as my strength, genuineness, and sincerity: I will mature with a tenacity and understanding of You.

I choose to be in Your growth and established strength, this will prosper because You surround me with Your protection.

I want to be restored and duplicate the fruit of Your Spirit, even in old age. I want the rich anointing within my spirit.

I choose to reveal the Lord's righteous strength: You are my stability and security. There is nothing negative about Your character.

Psalm 58 Carnality

Builders of the family name, it is you who are suppose to teach the power of God's cleansing for redemption before mankind. Yet when you see the immorality that mankind embraces you turn your head the other way. Why do you not confront this carnal behavior?

The truth is you don't practice what you teach. You abuse the identity that you have in God; you think of how to control to get unjust gain, this power, means, and direction will only give you a pseudo self-confidence.

You condemn your own thinking; it is profane to seduce, deceive, and lie to those who follow you. You know in your intellect and spirit this is wrong.

You use manipulation as a guise to mask your rage: a writhing deceiver that does not listen to correction.

You are leaders who do not discern or even try to understand the spiritual needs of your followers. You have joined forces with the carnal believers and praise their social agenda.

All those who teach a social agenda as the Word of God wants power and will attack anyone who is a threat to that agenda. They are not shy with words of slander about believers of the Lord. Pray that our God will destroy these words that devour identities by the use of facades, appeasement, or placation.

Reject their bitterness and critical attitudes because these destroy your mental well-being. All this agenda wants to do is stir up hatred and division between believers.

Just as a snail love to glide in its own slime, these who teach a social agenda wander aimlessly to spread filth: enable the inferiority of their message be overwhelmed by truth. Reveal their confusion Lord, so not allow them to comprehend Your brilliance.

Do not enable their power to control people to impale or puncture their identity; remove this turbulent condition and reveal their past reputation of destruction.

We who are believers choose to be righteous in attitude and behavior, the Lord will vindicate us: we will renew our convictions from this trouble and these people who condemn will no longer have power over our thinking.

We will stand and bear the fruit of righteousness: God our Father judges everything and everyone in and on this earth.

Psalm 44 Liberation

We have heard it with our ears and discerned it with our spiritual eyes that it is You God who our forefathers inscribed in our intellect that the act of commitment was the work in the early beginning of our yesteryear's.

It is You who drove out the idolaters with Your power, means, and direction; plus You focused them and secured their customs. You afflicted the people, and then once they learned Your plans, You sent them on their way.

Some of the people did not possess the confidence within their spirit; they used cords of cutting satirical words, but these words of power did not save them: but Your strength and transparent acceptance of them was found security for them.

It is through You, where I diminish my stress, sorrow, and troubles; it is Your definite and conspicuous position in my faith, mark of individuality in my personality, and honorable character in my lifestyle that minimizes troubles when they arise.

I cannot trust in my stubbornness; nor will these carnal attitudes and behaviors save me.

Before You God, I am transparent all the time. I continue to worship Your definite and conspicuous position, mark of individuality, and honorable character forever. Stop and think about that.

I feel like You have pushed me aside, wounded me with the sin of my shame, and are not supporting me through this hardship. I find it difficult to worship You.

I will circumcise the work of the flesh: those who hate me use this opportunity and difficulty to make themselves look superior.

I feel like I am on a path leading to nowhere and stuck on a dead end street; An orphan or a homeless person, abandoned, and hungry.

I feel betrayed in the sense of my carnal ability and substance; I have not increased my wealth by the price I paid spiritually.

I am disgrace to my neighbor's, a laughing stock to the point of ridicule from people around me.

I am bruised by my own sense of superiority among the idolaters, a brunt of the pranks and jokes among the people of my community.

I am feeling continually disgraced, the shame in my countenance fills the recesses of my mind.

The reality of my carnal nature defames and assassinates my spiritual character: the unforgiveness is due to the acts of hatred within the carnality of my thinking.

This overwhelms me; I do not forget You nor have I cheated or lied about Your manifestation within my life.

My identity and the understanding of it is not apostatized; neither are my motives or behaviors deviated from the lifestyle that You expect from me.

I have mentally, emotionally, and physically collapsed in humiliation in front of these deceivers who take advantage of the calamity they have created.

If I had forgotten Your definite and conspicuous position, mark of individuality, or honorable character, or if I acknowledged or worshipped a profane god;

Wouldn't You know this about me and examined my motives intimately? You understand the blind spots that are unrevealed in my identity.

I pray this is for Your sake that I am troubled mentally exhausted all the time; I am nothing more that a lamb to the slaughter; feeling like an abuse victim.

Listen to me Lord please, I feel like You are ignoring me. Please be aware that I feel rejected all the time now.

Have You concealed Your presence from me and forgot my depression and stress?

My identity is rubbish: the reality of this reduplication process is holding on tight to Your confidence.

Come and help me Lord, preserve my strength and Your kindness within me.

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 26 Integrity

Vindicate my reputation Lord, I have exerted my virtue of integrity: my confidence is in You; therefore I will not lose sight of my confidence and
become apathetic.

Scrutinize my motives, Lord; analyze them, then justify me in them: refine and purge the attitudes, behaviors, and motives of my intellect and emotional awareness.

It is Your kindness through reprove and reproach that my identity has been given insight: I have grown in Your stability.

I do not make it easy on myself or have ever established myself with liars or with the arrogant person; neither will I develop a facade.

I hate the society who practices to do evil; and I do not associate with those who love to be wicked.

I will endure the examination of motivations within my being by Your transparency; I will accomplish the intimate communion of worship with You.

In doing so, I may accomplish understanding of how to adore Your accomplished works and praise Your marvelous miracles in me.

Lord, I love the dwelling place of Your established presence, where life is birthed, restoration is established, and Your dignity dwells.

Psalm 25 Affliction within myself

I finally understand the validity of You in my identity.

I am bold, confident, and secure in You do not allow the negativity of disappointment or shame to overwhelm me. Do not allow my acts of hatred within my carnal nature to control or dominate my character.

Allow no one who has high expectations of You be ashamed: allow those who choose to display carnal behaviors, deceitful motives, or selfish attitudes be put to shame.

Not only make me aware, but also help me to comprehend the lifestyle You desire for me; instruct me with incentives to conform to Your character.

Do not only give instructions to me, but repress if necessary my natural man so that Your stability will counsel and console me: You are the God of my transparency which is independent of my salvation; I remain patient in Your will.

Remember Your compassion and mercy for me, Lord, so that I might sustain the reproof and reproach; this is important to me right from the start.

Lord try to forget the purging and purifying process of my youth, I was in total rebellion: the effects of Your kind reproof and reproach have marked me to be recognized for Your purpose and call.

Precious and just is the work of the Lord in me: therefore He will inform and direct those who offend Your Spirit by their incorrect lifestyle, attitudes, and behaviors.

For those who are depressed within their emotional well being or circumstances, it is God who will guide with His discernment: He will direct and instruct them in His way of life.

All patterns of characteristics of mankind in the Lord are kind and reproachable for the need of our stability, and are given to those who are obedient to the restorative process as reduplication.

I love the Lord's definite and conspicuous position within my spirit, His mark of individuality within my soul, and honorable character within my flesh; they are for His purpose. Forgive my perversity and sins, because they are tremendous.

Who or what is mankind that he thinks he should be revered or worshipped instead of the Lord? It is God who directs and instructs mankind in the lifestyle and motives that is acceptable and required of man.

It is our identity in Him that will endure and remain in grace with His peace; it is the fruit of our life that will feed our confidence in Him.

The intimate counsel of the Lord is with those who revere and respect Him; His counsel endures, His advice will bring restoration to my soul.

The discernment and perception of the Lord is continual; He will be the direction of my endurance and keep the fruit of my spirit from being disinherited.

Help me to face myself so that I might face You; I know that I am beloved, even though I feel lonely and depressed right now.

The anguish of my intellect and emotional understanding are being developed and growing within my soul; please bring me through this stressful and troubling time of my life.

Advise me through this misery as well as the wearing effect it has on my body and worship of You; forgive my sins.

Counsel me about the acts of hatred within my carnal nature, they increase rapidly and reflect hateful attitudes and behaviors.

Protect and minister to the validity of my identity; preserve my spirit: do not allow confusion or shame to enter my being; I put my confidence in You.

Enable my transparency and uprightness guard and maintain my walk with Your Spirit; my expectations are in You.

Liberate my restored nature in You God, extinguish all my adversity, anguish, and stress which I have caused within myself, it offends You.

Psalm 19 Enlightenment

Enlightenment inscribes the glory of God, allow the circumstances of life to grow and develop within us spiritually, emotionally, and mentally to reveal the manifestations of His workmanship within our being.

These new beginnings or growth stages within my spirit starts with this debate and with that a promise; with each of life's adversity comes the awareness and realization of the spiritual deprivation that is within my soul.

There can be no discourse, promise, purpose, reason, or work; where there is no call; there is no discernment or spiritual understanding in my natural life.

The social norms that I have experienced have been realized by society, and the vain words of everyone around me are deafening and foreign to my spirit. The Lord has ordained an intimate environment for anyone who can comprehend this idea.

The individual must choose to leave their comfort zone in order to test the environment and trust the Lord. Then the desire to be a strong spiritual warrior proves his commitment before the Lord.

This source of enlightenment and the course it will direct is the concluding goal of this warrior; there will be nothing concealed from it's intensity.

The laws within his personal instruction from the Lord are perfect for his integrity, circumcising the identity from his insecurity: the restoration is then established and stable within his soul, teaching wisdom within his attitude and behavior for his growth and maturity.

The mandates of God are trustworthy and upright; it is these that cause our identity and even our understanding to be joyful: the commandments of the Lord are for His children and this gives spiritual insight to knowledge.

Our reverence for the Lord must be pure and endure forever: the ordinances for the Lord are our stability and a way for cleansing our natural being for the peaceful state of mind we desire.

I delight and desire the ordinances of the Lord because they are quite valuable, yes very precious to me indeed: the Word of God is sweet and fill my soul with faith and trust, making me a sweet smelling savor unto the Lord.

Furthermore, with this as a blessing this servant has been given insight and instruction for any difficulty I face, walking in this knowledge is a source of tremendous satisfaction.

Who on this earth can read my mind or discern my motives? Who can understand and cleanse me from my own suppressed humanity?

Help me Lord, to restrain this arrogant thinking, cause these thoughts not to have power or control over me: then I may feel complete and whole within my spirit; I will enable to choose the righteous process against rebellious attitudes and offensive behaviors.

Let the words that come from my mouth and the intellectual thoughts, as well as the emotional feelings and spiritual understanding be creditable in Your presence Lord. You are the strength within my flesh and the liberation of my soul.

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 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.
