- When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart.
- Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths. - Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that I need. - Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
See if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. - Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me.
- I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me. - Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
- Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.
- And whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
- Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
- You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah - You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand has supported me;
your help has made me great.
You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip. - Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.
- If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
- I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
- In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me. - Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long. - Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved;
for you are my praise. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me
on a level path. - Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. - Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
- You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. - But as for me, I will look to the Lord,
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me. - Do not, O Lord, withhold
your mercy from me;
let your steadfast love and your faithfulness
keep me safe forever.
With the Lord on my side I do not fear.
What can mortals do to me?But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.” Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.Next verse!With image
