Lord my character is not proud, nor my intellect full of arrogance: I do not worry about pressing issues or try to analyze things I do not understand.
I want to perform honorably before You, I want to compose myself respectfully; I am a contented well nourished child; my reality and identity is satisfied in Your presence.
Enable this builder of the family name to trust in You from now until evermore, Lord.

Psalm 39 Awareness
With self-talk I discuss in my head "what in the world are you thinking and dreaming?" If you cannot control you thoughts how can you control your words? The lack of self-control is an excuse used by the rebellious.
I was silent but stunned in my mind; these thoughts froze my body still. I kept quiet in shock; I didn't talk to anyone, not even You God. The silence rang loud and clear of conviction as this mental battle began.
My identity with its understanding and awareness inflamed my mind; I complained and justified but the anger grew: finally I spoke the truth to myself.
Lord help me to know my boundaries within my thinking pattern, as well as the capacity of my mental limitations; I need Your help to know this. These boundaries will enable my feelings of how empty and rejected they are by You.
It is You who appoints, then executes each new beginning as a promotion to a growth stage, as a support system, and a coping mechanism; this is not determined by age. I have learned this about me: when I think I am established and upright in understanding human behavior, I am totally empty and lead astray by my own desires. Stop and think about that.
My presupposition was that every individual can and does motivate himself to grow and prosper, but in what? This is the deciding factor in question, empty idols or servants of God? It is no wonder I am filled with anxiety and trouble; I collect unhealthy thoughts of self-centered luxuries. Who will benefit from this attitude and behavior? What time am I wasting or throwing away?
Lord, what am I waiting for? These expectations are painful and dreadful. I trust in You, but I know full well I must take action on my part.
Direct me out of this awareness of rebellious attitudes within me: do not enable me to make myself a disgrace in defamation. Do not allow me to display arrogant, self-righteous, or self-indulgent attitudes.
I am dumb-founded. I kept quiet because I never realized the battle within my thinking was a prerequisite to my behavior.

Psalm 38 Compassion
Lord, please do not reprimand me while You are angry with me: neither direct or instruct me in the shadow of Your wrath.
Your wounds tear me open and expose my broken relationship with You. I can feel Your power, means, and direction grievously stress me out.
There is no maturation in the insecurity that I feel when You are indignant with me; I feel no safe restoration or restitution in my identity or confidence because of the offense I have committed against Your precepts.
This perversity has provoked my ideology, and the comfort zones I have created; this grievous anxiety prevails over my self-confidence. I pray a new beginning or growth stage is being created within me.
These wounds of offense are corrupt because of my own stubborn mind set and stupid rebellion.
I am tormented; deeply depressed, I walk around feeling desolate all the time.
My self-confidence and hope is filled with despair: there is no maturity in my insecurity.
I feel inadequate, incompetent, indecisive, and my mental abilities are collapsing: the reality of my own confusion causes my cries of desperation.
Lord, I place my motives boldly before You; my sorrow is not hidden from Your all seeing eye.
The understanding and awareness of my identity aches because of the failure I feel inside: the insight I thought was in my confidence and knowledge is also gone.
The love of my life and close friends stand aloof when I expose my wounds: my family withdraws completely from me.
There are people who try and disturb the peace I find in You: they pursue my hurt by saying perverse things that are not true. They talk fraud and deceit all the time.
My choice is not to listen to the gossip; and I did not speak one thing against anyone.
I decided not to listen, and not to reciprocate.
It is in You Lord, I put my hope: You always hear me. You are my God.
Listen for my cry again Lord, or else they will enjoy making me miserable: whenever I make a mistake, for they are many, they magnify it out of proportion against me.
I am ready to stop these behaviors and attitudes; my anguish is ever before me.
I confess my wrong attitudes and behaviors; I am sorry for my sin against You.
These acts of hatred within my carnal nature are strong and deceptive. They can hate without cause and can react like someone I am not.
My own thoughts attack me and I begin a battle within myself. The confusion then leads to conviction, then that allows the need for repentance to rise.
Do not forsake me Lord, my God be not far from me.
Hurry and establish Your saving grace to me. You are the Lord of my transparency.

Psalm 29 Expressions
I give myself to the Lord; I love being a builder of the family name. I acknowledge the dignity and strength that comes from Him.
Give the Lord the dignity that is due His definite and conspicuous position, mark of individuality, and honorable character; worship the Lord because of His excellence and holiness.
I want the Lord's expressions in my identity: the God of glory agitates my comfort zone to polish my self-awareness; the Lord identifies with all of His children.
The expressions of the Lord are powerful, the expressions of the Lord is full of glory, and He is excellent.
This expression reveals and breaks my imperfection that is within my identity, so that I might birth His expressions within me to reflect Him in my intellect, strong will, emotional understanding, and spiritual awareness. Yes, it is the Lord who breaks the tenacity of these negative roots within my thinking and reasoning abilities.
It is the reality of God that stimulates the growth of maturity; which in turn determines great joy. This joy prevails in His builder of the family name and it is very obvious when observed.
It is His expressions that engraves His Word, character, and motives within my soul, so that I might reflect His anointed enlightenment.
These expressions push though the pain of confusion and even fear, to realize and accept His trust and joy while I am realizing His nurturing is to enable a pure relationship with Him. The Lord may use stress to undermine and weaken my character flaws not to mention the control or understanding of them in order to remove me from the comfort zone of complacency.
The expression of the Lord is a strong support system to birthing His expression within us to protect us with His strength, and with this sense of capacity, we might radiate His glory.
The Lord dictates any overwhelming force or circumstance; yes the Lord is the dominant force within our lives.
He gives boldness, strength, and security to His people, when we ask; the Lord gives favor of restoration to those who want it.

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.
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.

Psalm 24 Self Respect
My confidence is in the Lord's ability to fill my world with the satisfaction of His virtue and He also maintains the people around me.
It is appointed for the counsel and instruction of my peace in God; He has ordained it for the enlightenment of spiritual prosperity.
Who chooses to grow, be restored, and enlightened in the Lord? Who will be determined to perform and then succeed in His consecrated place?
He that is whole within his soul; free from guilt as to display the capabilities of this virtue and become transparent, full of courage, and understanding. He will not magnify an arrogant attitude with useless deceptive motives nor display a facade of betrayal toward anyone.
He freely receives the spiritual prosperity within the Lord's righteousness and the salvation of God's eternal love.
This generation of restoration is a process of seeking and worshipping Him. We yearn for His acceptance and bask in His presence; because He is the great Provider. Stop and think about that.
Advance the seat of your intellect, you who have the ability to open and close your own mind; receive and learn; you who have a means of access to the counsel of self respect, you will reveal your identity and understanding to those who cannot.
Who gives this counsel of self-respect? Only the Lord who prevails in the strength of our intellect; He is our warrior and the champion of all our battles.
Again I encourage you to advance the seat of your intellect; learn, those of you who have the means to teach and counsel, self respect will reign within your intellect.
Who can counsel this self respect? The Lord God, our great defense; it is He who gives the counsel of self respect. Stop and think about that.
It is appointed for the counsel and instruction of my peace in God; He has ordained it for the enlightenment of spiritual prosperity.
