Psalms

A friend of mine, Sandy whom I have known 43 years at least, sent me this prayer comprised of several verses from the Book of Psalms. I hope it blesses you as it did me. Sandy was such a big influence on my life in the 1960's. She is a few years older than I am. I think I learned to read because she read Dr Suess to me and I liked her Archie comic books. She also led me into high fashion - she had them, I have to have them - white gogo boots w/ zippers up the back, they were hideous. I thought I looked great at 5 in my stirrup pants, white gogo boots and long, blonde fall. Not only did she lead me into high fashion, she passed me her love for frosted lipstick and O J's Beauty Lotion as well as a love for the Lord.


'I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart" Ps. 9:1

"I love you, O Lord, my strength." Ps. 18:1

"Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths" Ps. 25:4

"How priceless is Your unfailing love!" Ps. 36:7

"May Your love and truth always protect me." Ps. 40:11

"Send forth Your light and Your truth, let them guide me" Ps. 43:3

"Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin." Ps. 51:2

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Ps. 51:10

"Be exalted, O God...let Your glory be over all the earth." Ps. 57:5

"Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You." Ps. 63:3

"My mouth is filled with Your praise, declaring Your splendor all day long." Ps. 71:8

"Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my cry for mercy." Ps. 86:6

"Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in Your Word." Ps. 119:18

"Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil" Ps. 141:4

"Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground." Ps. 143:8-10

Thank you for the LPM post. It totally lifted me up. Love the scriptures, sometimes we just try to put flesh on it and nothing fixes it like God.
