Prayer, Part I, November 14, 2008
Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness.
Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD—your salvation according to Your word.
So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in Your word.

Ps 119:40-42, www.solascriptura.com

Father, as we seek to be like Jesus, we find we must know more and more of His words, His instruction and His desire for us. We seek His righteousness that our spirit might be revived by His Spirit. You have taught us that hearts need to be changed for renewal to be real. Lead us away from our instinctive, self serving desires, into a concern for serving You and others.

Then, as we interact today and people see that we love You Jesus, give us answers for those who observe us knowing that we will not always be admired for our faith. Our objective today Father is to seek and to do Your Holy will, in all things.

We pray that You will strengthen those who serve You and place Your hand against Your enemies, those who would harm and destroy all that is good.

Give us a gentle spirit in the midst of chaos, we pray. In Jesus Holy name, we pray, amen.
