A Prayer for Help
A Psalm of David
Save me, O God, for the waters have threatened my life. I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me. I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; my eyes fail while I wait for my God. Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; what I did not steal, I then have to restore.
O God, it is You who knows my folly, and my wrongs are not hidden from You. May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel, because for Your sake I have borne reproach; dishonor has covered my face. I have become estranged from my brothers and an alien to my mother's sons.
The zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me. When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my reproach. When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. Those who sit in the gate talk about me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, answer me with Your saving truth. Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters. May the flood of water not overflow me nor the deep swallow me up, nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
Answer me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good; according to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me, and do not hide Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly. Oh draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies!

Beautifully rendered! I enjoyed their singing as they blessed my heart with "the prayer."
God's word instructs us to “Meditate upon these things (Reading, Exhortation, & Doctrine); give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all” (1Tim. 4:15).
If we’ll faithfully commit ourselves to God’s Word in our lives, then the Word will propel our advancement. Everyone will see that we’re making tremendous progress in every area of our lives.
As you peruse this site It's my prayer that you'll experience what the Yielded Life is, that you'll be challenged, sold-out for Christ and by God's grace and direction, be a blessing to others.
Therefore, in all your ways acknowledge God and He will direct your path.
Prayer for Leaders In Authority "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people(Prov. 14:34). Therefore, let us pray "That we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” (1Tim.2:1-4)
A Prayer of Repentance Dear God of Glory, I come to you in repentance and ask that you forgive me of my sins. The Bible says, "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." Lord, I invite you to come into my life, save me and be my Lord and Savior. I willingly receive you into my life and now I'm yours and you're mine. Thank you Lord, I'm a believer and I'm saved, in Jesus name. Amen.
