Psalm 25:1-10
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long.
Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for your goodness’ sake, O Lord!
Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
Reflection
From the very center of my being I cry to you O Lord.
I seek your will and your way.
Without your direction all my enemies will defeat me.
I need you to guide me in life.
I raise my soul to you high above all other things.
I come to you in pain and sorrow.
My focus is upon you and you alone.
In your hands I place myself.
My faith is in your mercy and love...
Your forgiveness and grace.
I humbly beseech your saving action knowing...
You are the God of Salvation.
Prayer
Lord, I don't know why you come to me. You come to me a sinner. You come with mercy, love, forgiveness and grace. Why do you care for me? In your actions I place my life. In your way alone do I live. In you alone... today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
