Title: A Daily Prayer

(S) cripture:
    Psalm 143:10 (NASB) Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

(O) bservation:
    In this psalm David asks the Lord for a number of things. He asks for mercy, relief from his enemies, answer to his prayers and a sense of God’s love. These are just a few of his requests. He also asks for God to teach and lead him. That is a prayer we each should pray daily.

(A) pplication:
    I am struck at how often David, described in the Bible as a man after God’s own heart, asks the lord to teach and guide him. If David needed to do this continually how much more do I need to do this? It is my heart’s desire to live out God’s will in my life. I want to be guided by the Holy Spirit moment by moment. It does not happen automatically, I must constantly yield myself to God’s Will and direction. This will be my daily prayer because I want to make a difference for the cause of Christ wherever I am.

(P) rayer:
    Lord today I will pray what David prayed. Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Amen
