Praying Psalm 31
My Loving Father, My All Mighty God,
I come before You with a heart full of praise and gratitude. You are my rock and my fortress, my refuge and my strength. In You, I find shelter from the storms of life, and in Your presence, I find peace.
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief. Yet I trust in You, knowing that You are faithful and Your love endures forever.
You know the troubles and the pain that I am facing, and You see the anguish of my soul. I surrender all my fears and worries into Your hands, knowing that You are able to bring beauty from ashes and joy from mourning.
Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness; make Your way straight before me. Guard me from the snares of the enemy and deliver me from all harm. Let Your light shine upon me and fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and Your endless mercy. I praise You for Your faithfulness and Your goodness, and I will rejoice in Your salvation all the days of my life.
In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
