God spoke to me tonight in small group. The prayer leader lead us through the focus of praying through the scriptures. The passage she chose was psalm 26. She asked us to meditate on how we could turn this into a prayer. I began to write almost immediately after she read the passage. We talked about how bold and confident David was to say what he says in the psalm and the maybe he was being sarcastic. We thought that it was uncomfortable, at least, to say the first verse out loud.
What I wrote was this:
I have not led a blameless life or walked in integrity. I have frequently thrown my lot in with the wicked and have followed them and not You. And yet, because You have loved me and still love me, I can say,"I have lived a blameless life and walk in integrity", because you are my life and the life I lead is Christ and my walk is in Your Way.
When I am prone to stray, help me to remember that You love me and that I live Your Life and not my own. I have Your Strength and not my own. And when I am victorious remind me of who really won the battle and of how important I am because You love me that much.
