Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.Psalm 25_16-22 - 365

Reading: Psalm 25:16-22

Lord Jesus,
help me to be open and transparent before you.
Take away all my sins.
My hope is in you.
Protect me the attacks of the enemy.
Deliver me from all my troubles. 
Amen.

— — —

Some men brought to him a paralyzed man,
lying on a mat.
When Jesus saw their faith,
he said to the man,
“Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

At this, some of the teachers of the law
said to themselves,
“This fellow is blaspheming!”

Knowing their thoughts,
Jesus said,
“Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
Which is easier: to say,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’
or to say,
‘Get up and walk’?
But I want you to know
that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
So he said to the paralyzed man,
“Get up, take your mat and go home.”
Then the man got up and went home.
When the crowd saw this,
they were filled with awe;
and they praised God,
who had given such authority to man.
(Matthew 9:7-12), NIV)*

I will praise the LORD!Psalm 10_1-4 -365

Reading: Psalm 25:12-15

Who, then, are those who fear the LORD?
    He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.
They will spend their days in prosperity,
    and their descendants will inherit the land.
The LORD confides in those who fear him;
    he makes his covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever on the LORD,
    for only he will release my feet from the snare. *

Reading: Psalm 25:8-11

Good and upright is the LORD;

For the sake of your name, LORD,
    forgive my iniquity, though it is great. *

I will praise the LORD!

Psalm 46_1a

Reading: Psalm 25:1-7

Of David.

In you, LORD my God,
    I put my trust.
  I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.
    Show me your ways, LORD,
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, LORD, are good. *

Reflection
David begins Psalm 25 on a note of confidence, but as this psalm draws to a close, he truly bears his heart. David plaintively calls out to the LORD, “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.”

The warrior king let’s his guard down and we see into his soul. There is a time for putting on a brave face, and there’s a time for open and transparent honesty. Here within the context of this psalm we see both, David the brave heart and David the lonely heart. Earlier in this psalm David showed absolute confidence in his God, but now he pours out his soul in humble petition. Hear the cry of his heart, “Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.”

David recognized his greatest need. David’s greatest need was forgiveness. That’s our greatest need too. We need the peace of mind forgiveness brings.

David was surrounded by mortal enemies, but then, so are we. The legions of hell are arrayed against the Christian believer. At this moment worldly philosophies and demonic forces are conspiring to destroy your home, your marriage, and your life. Along with David we pray, “See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.”

Our hope must always be centered in the LORD. Integrity and uprightness form a wall of protection around the people of God. But our deliverance comes from the LORD. Along with David we affirm, “No one who hopes in you [LORD] will ever be put to shame.”

Response: Lord Jesus, help me to be open and transparent before you. Take away all my sins. My hope is in you. Protect me the attacks of the enemy. Deliver me from all my troubles. Amen.

Your Turn: How much do you need God? Do you need His grace and forgiveness?
