Prayer for the week- Psalm 51

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.


Psa 51:2
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Psa 51:3
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before me.


Psa 51:4
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.


Psa 51:5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.


Psa 51:6
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.


Psa 51:7
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.


Psa 51:8
Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou hast broken may rejoice.


Psa 51:9
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Psa 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.


Psa 51:11
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.


Psa 51:12
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit.


Psa 51:13
[Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.


Psa 51:14
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Psa 51:15
O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.


Psa 51:16
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering.


Psa 51:17
The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.


Psa 51:18
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.


Psa 51:19
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.


I acknowledge the sins of my heart- help me Lord. Give me wisdom through Your Word, allow me to hear your voice!  I praise you for your goodness and mercy- all the days of my life. Bring comfort to my husband and give him strength in this time as he makes many sacrifices that are beyond his flesh.  Give  us strength Lord to do Your will in our lives.

In Jesus Name- Amen

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
