Psalm 145:1–21 (GW)¹ I will highly praise you, my God, the king.  I will bless your name forever and ever.  ² I will bless you every day.  I will praise your name forever and ever.  ³ The Lord is great, and he should be highly praised.  His greatness is unsearchable.  ⁴ One generation will praise your deeds to the next.  Each generation will talk about your mighty acts.  ⁵ I will think about the glorious honor of your majesty and the miraculous things you have done.  ⁶ People will talk about the power of your terrifying deeds,  and I will tell about your greatness.  ⁷ They will announce what they remember of your great goodness,  and they will joyfully sing about your righteousness.  ⁸ The Lord is merciful, compassionate, patient,  and always ready to forgive.  ⁹ The Lord is good to everyone and has compassion for everything that he has made.  ¹⁰ Everything that you have made will give thanks to you, O Lord,  and your faithful ones will praise you.  ¹¹ Everyone will talk about the glory of your kingdom and will tell the descendants of Adam about your might ¹² in order to make known your mighty deeds and the glorious honor of your kingdom.  ¹³ Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.  Your empire endures throughout every generation.  ¹⁴ The Lord supports everyone who falls.  He straightens ⸤the backs⸥ of those who are bent over.  ¹⁵ The eyes of all creatures look to you,  and you give them their food at the proper time.  ¹⁶ You open your hand,  and you satisfy the desire of every living thing.  ¹⁷ The Lord is fair in all his ways and faithful in everything he does.  ¹⁸ The Lord is near to everyone who prays to him,  to every faithful person who prays to him.  ¹⁹ He fills the needs of those who fear him.  He hears their cries for help and saves them.  ²⁰ The Lord protects everyone who loves him,  but he will destroy all wicked people.  ²¹ My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,  and all living creatures will praise his holy name forever and ever. 

Be honest with God about your sins and shortcomings. Ask for forgiveness and strength to live a life that honors Him.

Psalm 51:7–9 (ESV)⁷ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. ⁸ Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. ⁹ Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

Think about specific things that you are grateful for, big and small. This could include family, friends, your health, or even the air that you breathe.

Psalm 30:12–13 (NAB)¹² You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.¹³ With my whole being I sing endless praise to you. O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.

Continually entrust the needs of others, and especially their need of salvation, to God. Wait with faith, not frustration, knowing He’s at work even when you can’t see it.

Romans 10:1 (NASB)¹ Brethren, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

Entrust your needs and pain to God. Ask Him to meet you in your weakness, and remind you that He is enough.

Habakkuk 3:2 (NLT)² I have heard all about you, Lord. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy.

Use the final minute to be quiet, to listen and reflect on your prayer time and what God may be communicating to you. Then close with... 

The Lord’s Prayer

(Pray the words that Jesus taught us to pray)

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name;

your kingdom come;

your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

For yours is the kingdom, and the power,

and the glory, forever. Amen.
