Psalm 25, Verses 8-15

Continuation of  this Psalm of Leigh

This is my conversation with God as this day dawns anew. I am, yet again, asking God for His guidance, and pardon from my sin. And I am thankful that He always hears and answers our prayers. As followers of Christ, we all need to believe that God will do these things for each of us.

Our God is fair and just, therefore He directs His lost children back to His righteous paths; and He leads the meek and humble, step by step, in ways that are right.
 All of the Lord's ways are full of mercy and Truth; He is always loving and faithful to those who follow after them.
 I know that I don't always follow after You as closely as I should, Lord. Please forgive me, even if it is just for the sake of Your holy name.
 Lord, I know that You will direct those men and women - young and old - who fear, respect and honor You in the path that You have chosen for each of them. Their souls will be filled with your peace; and their spiritual children will inherit the earth. For all of Your secrets are hidden deep in their heart of hearts. You have confided with them from the beginning of Your relationship with them. You have shown them Your covenant which they have accepted. They have added their names along side those who have come before.
 Lord, may You always be the focus of my life. May my eyes ever be looking on Your face. For You alone have, can and will ever continue to rescue me from the snares of our enemy.
 I love You, Lord Jesus!
 Amen.

Psalm 25, Verses 1-7

A Psalm of David & Leigh

A conversation with God.

David is praying, and I with him, asking God for defense, 

guidance, and pardon from sin.

As followers of Christ, we know that God will do these things for us, also.

God's Defense is better than ANY castle walls!

Loving Lord I lift, I give up, my soul to You.

Father, I have placed all of my trust in You.

You will not allow me to bring shame upon You.

Neither will You allow my enemies, or Your enemies,

to triumph over me. No, they will find no joy in causing me harm.

Lord, I know that none who have placed their trust, their very hope,

in You will ever be put to shame. But those who act unfaithfully, yes all deceitful men and women, will stand before You in their shame.

Show me the direction You would have my life to take; 

help me to see the course my life should take.

Teach me to stay on Your Highway of and to Holiness.

Guide me into Your truth and instruct me, Lord. For You are my Savior, 

the very source of my life's existence.
I know You remember all of your lovingkindness and tender mercies,
and so do I. For they go back to the very beginning;
back to the first family and the Garden.
But in Your remembering, please remember not the sins of my childhood,
nor any of the rebellious acts that I have committed since ... please forget, as your merciful nature allows.
