I've been reading alot of the Psalms lately, which I have found to be pretty awesome. The Psalms show so many different ways to praise and pray to God. Tonight I read Psalm 4 and it really stuck out to me, so I decided to pray to God using Psalm 4. I am blogging about this because it is changing the way I look at prayer, and the Psalms are a great tool that allow me to do something different in my prayer life, which is always welcome to avoid apathy. So here is what I prayed to God tonight, and through this prayer and study he fulfilled me with comfort.
(1)Answer my prayers God when I talk to you, my righteous God. Be there for me when I am stressed and help me see that you are in control, forgive me and hear my cry to you. (2)How long will people make fun of the way I am or what I do? How long will people fill up their lives with sin and greed instead of you? (3) Remind me that you have called me out to be with you eternally, and I know that you hear every word that I say. (4)Help me not sin in my anger, let me dwell upon my heart at rest and be silent and focus on what you have given me. (5)Let me sacrifice my aspirations and my life, so that I can trust in your plan for me God. (6)People around me wonder who can be good in this world anymore, let me be able to let Christ shine through my actions and attitude. (7) You have given me so much joy in a troubled world, so much so that I can forget what troubles me. (8)Because you are with me I can lie down and sleep in peace, because you alone give me safety in peace.
God Bless

That's a good one. What translation is that?
ReplyDeleteWell I read the NIV, and what I posted there was what I related the Psalm to in my life in my prayer.
