I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon leap like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.
Psalm 29:5-6//

Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish.

Please, Lord.

Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.

Lord, please bless our believing families.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:6//

Lord, help me to feel your love, goodness, and presence.
