DAY 13: PRAYING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
PRAYING IN RIGHTOUENESS
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. -Psalm 51-5:10 NIV®
Devotional
The Word of God is paramount concerning praying and fasting as we learn the scriptures for our spiritual growth. Psalm 51 is a prayer often read during times of fasting because of its strong desire to fill every fiber of my soul with the presence of God. The words here reflect one who needs a change and desires to move toward godliness and goodness. This petition to God reminds me that my righteousness does not compare to God's righteousness, and my goal is to live a life that is pleasing in His sight.
Prayer
Everlasting Father, I stretch my hands to thee; order my steps in your Word and the things of righteousness. I love you and give you glory for who You are. You are the Rock of my Salvation! Lord, I aim to strive for a pure heart and renewed spirit to be all You want me to be. Now, I pray that You will allow Your light to shine through me so that those around me may have a glimpse of You as the "Great I Am." God, touch me and search my heart and remind me that I walk and live my faith, in the Name above all names, Christ Jesus, I pray, Amen!
