Posted by Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. – Psalm 1:1.
Lord, today, I come to You because You are my God. This morning, I ask that You give me the grace to walk in ways that are pleasing in Your sight. Lead me and help me to follow You.
Father, I ask that You keep me away from bad company, shut my eyes from listening to the counsel of ungodly people, and may I not go down the path of sinners.
I dedicate this day to You and ask that You keep me in love with Your word, Your precepts and Your counsel.
And I also pray for the land, that Your truth will spread around the world, turning the hearts of men to You.
Keep our brethren who are in places of terrorism and persecution and liberate them speedily. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
