Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy (Ps. 63:1-3). Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions (Ps. 51:1). One thing I ask of the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and seek him in his temple (Ps. 27:4). But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness. Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies (Ps. 69:13,18).
Create in me a pure heart, O God, a renew a steadfast spirit within me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me (Ps. 51:10,12). I demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and I take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). but just as he who called me is holy, I want to be holy in all I do, for it is written “Be holy, because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15-16). For I have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do (1 Peter 4:3). Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and redeemer (Ps. 19:14). I will flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart (2 Tim. 2:22). The blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse my conscience from acts that lead to death, so that I may serve the living God! (Heb. 9:14).
Lord, you are gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love (Ps. 145:8). My flesh and my heart may fail, but God you are the strength of my heart and my portion forever (Ps. 73:26). I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ lives in my, and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me (Gal. 2:20). So, I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the Lord has done (Ps. 118:17), for I am not ashamed of the gospel (Rms. 1:16).
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--I will think about such things (Phil. 4:8).
My delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law I meditate day and night (Ps. 1:2). May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:7). Make my paths straight (Prov. 3:6). Father, into your hands, I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God (Ps. 31:5).
