Your Spirit inhabits the praises of my heart, Lord. Let my actions revere Your presence and bring honor to Your Name. Your glory is the purpose for living. Purify my sight so that I see more through the lens of faith than anything else. Purge the evil intentions of my heart. When all else around me quakes because of unsettled circumstances, You are the rock that steadies me in the storm. The perfection of Your hands is worthy of remembering. You use all calamity for good. Keep me in the illumination of truth while shadows of deceit lurk in the world I live in. The blessing of imparted righteousness is more than I deserve. With holy gratitude, I prayerfully praise You. You are justified when You speak and all Your judgments are correct. Pull Your servant into the deep so that I am no longer confused by the superficiality of selfish intentions. I give You my heart. Make it the holy dwelling place for You Spirit in holiness, Lord. Under the blessing of the Word in Psalm 50:1-5 and the authority of Christ, I come to the altar in prayer.

The Mighty One, God, the Lord,
    speaks and summons the earth
    from the rising of the sun to where it sets.
From Zion, perfect in beauty,
    God shines forth.
Our God comes
    and will not be silent;
a fire devours before Him,
    and around Him a tempest rages.
He summons the heavens above,
    and the earth, that He may judge His people:
“Gather to Me this consecrated people,
    who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
Psalm 50:1-5, NIV
