Praying Through: Psalm 32:11

The Psalm

Psalm 32:11 (CSB) Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

The Prayer

When I was

• a beast before you
• a worm beneath the dirt
• a blasphemer of your holy name
• an accuser of your beloved people
• a violent opponent of your dwelling
• a blind fool of your glory
• a ignorant recipient of your tender mercies
• a stonewall to your amazing grace
• a rejecter of your great love
• a dead man in my own sins

You thought of me

• you stirred your affections for me
• you loved me
• you chose me
• you called me
• you saved me
• you gave me faith
• you washed away my sins
• you regenerated my heart
• you filled me with your Spirit
• you changed my mind
• you opened my eyes
• you cleared my ears
• you unmuted my tongue
• you adopted me
• you called me your own
• you lavished you affections upon me
• you justified me
• you discipline me
• you sanctify me
• you conform me to look like your Son
• you wash me in the water of your word
• you pour out mercies on me
• you give me grace upon grace
• you forever love me
• you glorified me

Only then and now

• my heart is filled with joy
• my soul stands upright in your presence
• my being dwells with you
• my mind captures thoughts towards you
• my strength chokes out my sin
• do I love you

Be my love.

Be my everything.

For I am yours

• and you are mine.
