For no other foundation can anyone lay than
that which is laid,
which is Jesus the Messiah.

Prayer to Dwell In the Presence of the LORD
Psalms 15 |
|
Psalms 15
1 LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy
hill?
2 He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the
truth in his heart;
3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his
neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who
fear the LORD; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a
bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be
moved. |
LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell
in Your holy hill? LORD, I desire to be a man who abides in Your
presence. I come to you with a contrite heart and a teachable spirit
Lord, asking for the ability to walk in your ways and understand
your heart. Father, your presence is the most important thing in my
life: it defines who I am and what I am worth. I am the object of
your passion and desire and I want you to be the object of my
passion and desire. I want to dwell in your presence and to walk in
your manifest wisdom-listening for you voice of love and correction.
Help me to be a man that dwells and abides in Your house… that
dwells upon your holy hill. Father, until the dawn breaks, I will
make my way to the mountain of myrrh. Let the perfume of your
frankincense and myrrh be my ointment … a precious spice that I
seek. Lord, help me to walk your way… to live a life of self
sacrifice that is poured out even unto death.
Father, help me to walk uprightly and be fully obedient in every
way. Give grace and repentance in areas where I can’t or don’t want
to change Father. Help me align my mind and my thoughts with your
divine thoughts. Help me align my ways with your ways Father. Help
me align my words with your words. Lead me into acts of
righteousness that you have ordained and prepared for me… even
before the foundation of the world. Show me where you are working
Father and then show me how I am to partner with you.
Lord give me the ability to discern right from wrong… that by Your
Word I may know the right so I can choose it and know the evil so I
can shun it. Keep from self-deception and hidden sin Father. Set a
seal and guard upon my tongue … release the activity of your Spirit
upon my heart so that every word I speak comes from your heart… to
lift up, encourage, bind up, and gently lead others. Keep me from
slander and backbiting Lord, from using my tongue to destroy people
with words. Help me to keep my word Lord when I give it and not
speak lies to others. Holy Spirit, empower me as a witness of the
Lord Jesus and His saving grace… let His testimony come forth in
power and conviction.
Father, give me courage and strength to stand against evil and
against the actions of evil people. Give me grace to pray for those
who persecute me and forgive those who wrong me. Father help me to
honor your servants and to honor my fellow brothers and sisters in
the LORD. Give me grace Lord to accept even those who are weak in
the faith… and help me not to wound them without purposes that are
found in your heart. Help me to despise the evil and vain talk of
those who do not know you.
Lord, keep me pure in the area of money… give to me a generous heart
and spirit… like you Father. Keep me from greed and covetousness and
help me to see money as a tool for bringing the Gospel to others.
Keep me from dishonest gain and help me to be a generous giver… who
loans without interest and without expectation of return.
Let it be so! |
