14 day plan

God in Daily Life

Day 13 of 14

GNT

Psalm 143:10

10You are my God;

teach me to do your will.

Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.

Reflection: I have been seeing an acupuncturist to help with my migraines. She sometimes leaves small needles on my body to remind it to “let go” and “do the right thing”.  I know that there are areas in my life where I need to help my brain remember to “do the right thing” and remind my heart to “let go”. This can happen if I allow the words I read in my Bible to guide me and allow the Holy Spirit to move in my life. I don’t need a needle to do that, I just need to do the work and ask for help.

Question: What are you reading at the moment that is guiding you?

Prayer: Lord, you are God and we are not. Please help us to give up control and allow you to do your work. Amen.

Psalm 143:1-12

A Prayer for Help

1Lord, hear my prayer!

In your righteousness listen to my plea;

answer me in your faithfulness!

2 Don't put me, your servant, on trial;

no one is innocent in your sight.

3My enemies have hunted me down

and completely defeated me.

They have put me in a dark prison,

and I am like those who died long ago.

4So I am ready to give up;

I am in deep despair.

5I remember the days gone by;

I think about all that you have done,

I bring to mind all your deeds.

6I lift up my hands to you in prayer;

like dry ground my soul is thirsty for you.

7Answer me now, Lord!

I have lost all hope.

Don't hide yourself from me,

or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.

8Remind me each morning of your constant love,

for I put my trust in you.

My prayers go up to you;

show me the way I should go.

9I go to you for protection, Lord;

rescue me from my enemies.

10You are my God;

teach me to do your will.

Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.

11Rescue me, Lord, as you have promised;

in your goodness save me from my troubles!

12Because of your love for me, kill my enemies

and destroy all my oppressors,

for I am your servant.
