With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD! I will keep your statutes.

Lord, it is only when I am willing to cry with my whole heart, not reserving any portion for myself, giving You total control that You answer. Help me, Lord, to uncover those hidden preserves, expose them to the fierce wrath of Your love and cauterize them with Your Glory.

I call to you; save me, that I may observe your testimonies.

Keep me, Lord from falling away into despair and self-pity for it is only when I live in trust and faith that I can see Your promises revealed in me and to me.

With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD! I will keep your statutes. I call to you; save me, that I may observe your testimonies. I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words. My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promise. Hear my voice according to your steadfast love; O LORD, according to your justice give me life. They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose; they are far from your law. But you are near, O LORD, and all your commandments are true. Long have I known from your testimonies that you have founded them forever.

I cry, I keep, I call, I observe, I hope, I meditate on Your statutes, on Your law, on Your commandments, on Your testimonies, on Your precepts, on Your promises, on Your love, on Your justice, on Your righteousness, on Your mercy, on Your grace, on Your goodness, on Your perfection, on You, the Author and Perfecter of my faith.

I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!

My ways—Your ways! What a contrast. My ways are driven by a love of self, and a need for self-aggrandizement; Your ways exhibit Your love for your creation and Your desire to bring it into total relationship with You. Your law is an expression of that love, a means of translating it into a comprehensible form for Your people. Praise You, LORD.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good. For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.

Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

My freewill offering is myself: in body, soul, heart, mind and strength. I have been bought with a price and am in that place of righteousness, peace and joy that is life in the Holy Spirit. My response has to be, cannot not be other than total adoration and obedience to to the One who paid my ransom.

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "Is not David hiding among us?" O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah

Lack of trust, unwillingness to totally commit to You and Your promises. Lord, help me, I am a weak and foolish man., self-centered and prideful. Forgive me and transform me.

[P]raying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

Lord, what a failure I am at this task. And it is not a task, but a blessed privilege that I do not enter into. How can I not be just quivering with anticipation each morning as I arise, know that I am called to intercede for all the saints, every where that day? Why do I neglect to partake of the banquet set before me? Pride and self-will? Lack of discipline?

Transform me, Holy Spirit.

Morning: Psalm 138

Evening: Psalm 63

Voices Together is available as an annual daily devotional and can be purchased at the Fellowship Of Ailbe bookstore.

Have those who work evil no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God? There they are, in great terror, where there is no terror! For God scatters the bones of him who encamps against you; you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

Lord, we are entering into a time where the leaders of this nation have great animus towards You and Your disciples. Under the guise of tolerance, of non-judgment, they are restricting those who seek to obey You in all things and forcing disobedience to Your Word. Stand by those who are taking a brave stand for truth, risking total bankruptcy rather than serve the god of choice and Moloch. Bless them and give them strength to stand for Truth.

Your testimonies are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live.

There is no life without the understanding that You, LORD, God Almighty, the Righteous One. Only with complete acceptance that You are God and I am not can there be eternal life. I must sacrifice my pride and sinful self to Your supremacy.

Trouble and anguish have found me out, but your commandments are my delight.

Help me to keep fixed on You, Your Word, Your Commandments, Your promises and not on the forces arrayed against me.

I am small and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts.

Your precepts are my life preserver, the ring buoy that I cling to, the lifeline that pulls me into Your Kingdom. Yea, though man deride me for my faith, You will never leave me or forsake me.

Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true.

Forever true, forever righteous, forever good, forever faithful, forever just, forever merciful. In Him, there is no darkness at all.”
