Psalms 5: ¹ O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. ² Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. ³ Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.

⁴ O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked. ⁵ Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil. ⁶ You will destroy those who tell lies. The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.

⁷ Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe. ⁸ Lead me in the right path, O Lord, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.
⁹ My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery. ¹⁰ O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy. ¹² For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love.

 

I am so thankful to be able to go to the house of God.. I cannot honestly imagine living without going to church.. it doesn't matter to me if it is time for church or not.. I just like to go there and sit with Him... to spend time with Him... being alone with Him... it is a great gift to me...

 

lead me in the right path Lord.. surely I will be lost if He does not make the way plain.. as I am always veering off in one direction or another....

 

I will sing His praises forever... I am so thankful for His protection.. for His joy... that He blesses us... and surrounds us with His sheild of Love... that is a great mind picture...
