Shepherd Me Also....Psalm 28:6-9

6 Blessed be the LORD,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
8 The LORD is their strength,
And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.
9 Save Your people,
And bless Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
And bear them up forever.—Psalm 28:6-9

Father...thank you for your blessings and your trials. Thank you that You hear my prayer!  You are my strength and my shield.  My heart trusts You...therefore it greatly rejoices.  Be my saving refuge...my help...my divine support.  Bear me up today on eagles wings.  Shepherd me also. 

Bringing Our Difficulties to Our God...Exodus 18:17-19

So Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good.
“Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself. “Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God.—Exodus 18:17-19

Lord...Help me to bring the difficulties of the day to you.  I have no idea how to get thru any of them or even what to do. They wear me out.  I am trusting You with today. 

Exodus 16:14-19


And when the layer of dew lifted, there, on the surface of the wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground.  So when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat. “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ” Then the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less. So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one’s need.
And Moses said, “Let no one leave any of it till morning.—Exodus 16:14-19

I can trust You...You are my Jehovah Jireh...my great Provider.  Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You,
which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!   You, Father, are My Becoming One.  You become for me whatever my need is.  Surely goodness and mercy will follow me (I can’t outrun them) all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.  

I Have Declared My Ways...Psalm 119:26-27

I have declared my ways and You answered me, Teach me Your statutes.  Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.—Psalm 119:26-27

For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.  
Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight--
Forgive my sin and teach me Your way, O LORD.  Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in You do I trust...cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto You. 

Lord...I see who I am...a sinner saved by grace. A woman of little faith.  I need You desperately.  Teach me Your statutes!  Give me understanding that I might live and keep Your word.  Unite my heart, O God, to fear Your name. Strengthen me according to Your word and increase my faith.  Give me grace to honor You with my trust.  Help me to worship You in the beauty of holiness and bring glory to Your name.
