From Handbook to Prayer
Adoration
O Lord, You have searched me and You know me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thoughts from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down
And are acquainted with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue,
O Lord, You know it completely.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too lofty for me to attain.
(Psalm 139:1–6)
Pause to express your thoughts of praise and worship.
Confession
O Lord, be gracious to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.
(Psalm 41:4)
