Praying the Psalms

Psalm 16:2 NASB2020
[2] I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides You.” #BibleVerse

God, forgive me when I put other things in your place.
Show me the idols in my life - the empty pursuits and well-intentioned goals - that draw me away from Your goodness and glory 🙏 #prayer

Psalm 15:3
He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor do evil to his neighbor,
Nor bring shame on his friend #BibleVerse

Lord, which of my friends and neighbours need me today?
And which have I wronged?
Help me to make it right, in Your name. 🙏 #prayer

Psalm 15:1-2 NASB2020
Lord, who may reside in Your tent?
Who may settle on Your holy hill?
One who walks with integrity, practices righteousness,
And speaks truth in his heart #BibleVerse

God, I want to be someone like that. Help me see the lies I tell myself, so I can live in truth 🙏 #prayer

Psalm 14:2 NASB2020
The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek God. #BibleVersr

I seek your face, God. I want to know you more dearly, hear you more clearly. Reveal yourself to us. 🙏 #prayer

Thanks for your concern. I too think God loves my private prayer.
He also taught others to pray, and encouraged us to pray together. I trust that God sees my heart, knowing that I don't pray for reward but out of devotion.

Psalm 11:3 NASB2020
[Enemies say] “If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?” #BibleVerse

Why do You stand far away, Lord? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?
