God who Refines & Fulfills
Psalms 60-66 are essentially
psalms of lament; as evidenced
by the cry “O God” (60, 61, 63–65)
in which the psalmist stands upon
the promise of God in the face of
defeat, discouragement and deceit.
Through it all the psalmist finds that
God is praise-worthy refuge (62,66)
Lord, You Refine & Fulfill Us:
You O God have Tested us;
You have Refined us as silver…
You have caused men to ride over
our heads; we went thru fire and
through water; but You brought us
out to rich fulfillment (Ps 66:10-12).
If I had Cherished Sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
but God has surely listened
and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, who has not
rejected my prayer or withheld
His love from me (v18-20).
Search Me O God and know my
heart; try me & know my anxieties
And see if there is any wicked way
in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting (Ps 139:23-24) Amen.
Father God, season of testing
can be hard and really painful.
But Lord Purify me well; and let
my faith endure the testing time.
Remind me that You are always
with me every step of the way.
Help me Lord to understand Your
ways and not mistrust You when circumstances seem to contradict
You. For You are working out Your
best purposes for my life. Amen.
Lord, I purpose to Not Entertain Sin
in my heart. I want my heart to be
right before You so that You will
hear my prayers and answer it.
I don’t do everything perfectly,
so I ask by the power of Your Spirit
You will enable me to keep my
heart pure and my hands clean.
Thank You Lord for loving me
and helping me do what is right
in Your sight. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord, search my heart, shine
Your light on my sin and forgive me
for I am crying out to You for help.
Hear me, answer the cry of
my heart and continue to show
Your unfailing love in my life.
For Lord I don’t want sins to lie on
my shoulders that bear me down;
but rather place them in Christ
the Lamb of God. In Jesus’ name.
