A prayer based versus from Psalm 69 versus 5 and 6.
Original verses:
O God, you know my folly;
the
wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
6 Let not those who hope in you be put to shame
through me,
O
Lord God of hosts;
let not those who seek you be brought to
dishonor through me,
O God
of Israel. (ESV)
---------------------------------------------------------------
O God, you know all of
my mistakes and everything I have done wrong to those around me. I have sinned against you and chosen my own
path of righteousness. My sins and failures have been kept in darkness for too
long and I have lived thinking that maybe, just maybe this one lie would not be
counted against me. That if I could just choose my own path this once that you
would overlook it. I lived believing that I was my own god and that I could
change my mistakes by doing good to others.
How foolish I was to
think that the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you! O God, you see everything and know
everything. How could I believe that the
darkness in my heart would not be seen by your light? That I live life believing
I had something to lose, and this loss would be the nakedness of my soul poured
out and seen by those around me. How much I wanted to hide behind my lies and
deceit Lord, I was only listening to what Satan was telling me. Oh how foolish I
was to think that You could not see through my soul!
Let not those who hope
in you be put to shame through me, O Lord God. Let those who see me see You! I
pray that my walk in life is not lived in darkness. That I trust you and be
humbled in my faults so that your glory can shine that much brighter through
me. Help me to be the witness that you want me to be so that others who believe
in You can see the strength that you have given me. Let me be able to uplift
and encourage my brothers and sisters Lord and the faith that I have. Give me
the wisdom to know the difference in the choices I make and live in obedience
to your Word Lord.
Let not those who seek
you be brought to dishonor through me, O God. Let me be the witness that
you want me to be. Let me reach out with love and be filled with the Holy
Spirit. Let me not judge those around me but show them the joy that only you
can bring God. Help me to listen to your
voice and be a person of integrity that will allow your life to shine into
those who seek the Truth. Only with your
guidance Lord, can I help others turn to you and know the life that waits in
eternity.
