Day 13, 14, 15 - Psalm 51, 55 & 62

Psalm 51 - here is the theme verse:

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

David is pleading with God to make him pure so that he can be in the sight of the LORD. 

Father please forgive me for my junk/sin.  i need you more than anything in this world - please give me strength to overcome temptation and to not sin against you.  i love you LORD.

Psalm 55 - David is asking God to protect him and do away the evil that is chasing/surrounding him.  i have never had to run for my life, but if i had to, this would be my prayer too.

Psalm 62 - money, property, stolen good...nothing is better than the love of God.  nothing can replace our relationship with our LORD.

LORD, please never let me forget Psalm 62.  i never want to chase money or prosperity or whatever in the name of happiness or in any name for that matter.  God, please be the center of my life.  amen.
