Praying Psalm 73
Psalm 73:23-26 [personal prayers in brackets]
"Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
[Even if I tried to ignore it your presence would go with me.]
you hold my right hand.
[ though I deny it, God you comfort my soul and offer me friendship and grace.]
You guide me with your counsel,
[Your wisdom has always been my guide. You've helped me through difficult situations before. I thank you and praise you]
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
[Though the world whispers otherwise, heaven is my home]
Whom have I in heaven but you?
[No other gods but You. You are the One true God. There is none like You.]
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
[The other gods all fade away. There is only You. I was made to worship You.]
My flesh and my heart may fail,
[Even today, Lord, my soul has cooled to your touch and wanted to doubt your goodness. I've sinned against you and myself and others again and again.]
but God is the strength of my heart
[You forgive me and give me strength. You give me joy in every circumstance. You help me to keep your word and follow your will. You guide me.]
and my portion forever.
[If all I have is You then I am rich. You are my great reward.]"
