Psalm 32

1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. 3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. 4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. 5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. 7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. 8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. 9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. 10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. 11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Prayer : Abba Father, in the name of Jesus, blessed are You, the forgiver of transgressions and the coverer of sins. Today, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for Your mercy and forgiveness. In Your grace, You have imputed no iniquity upon me, and in Your Spirit, there is no deceit.

In moments of silence, my soul grew weary, burdened by the weight of unconfessed sin. Day and night, Your hand pressed upon me, and my vitality withered like the drought of summer. But, Lord, I choose not to hide my iniquities. I confess my sins to You, acknowledging my need for Your forgiveness.

Thank You for the promise of forgiveness and restoration. You, Lord, are my hiding place, preserving me from trouble and surrounding me with songs of deliverance. In times of trial, may I find solace and strength in Your presence.

I seek Your guidance, Lord. Instruct me, teach me, and lead me in the way I should go. Guide me with Your watchful eye, that I may walk in the paths of righteousness.

Help me not to be like a horse or mule without understanding, needing bit and bridle to be controlled. Instead, let me willingly yield to Your gentle guidance, trusting in Your wisdom.

I place my trust in You, knowing that Your mercy surrounds those who trust in the Lord. May I be filled with joy, gladness, and righteousness. Rejoice in my heart, O Lord, and let there be shouts of joy for the uprightness within me.

In the name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen.
