Important Part of Prayer
Ps 101:1-8 (NAS)
1 I will sing of lovingkindness and justice, to Thee, O LORD, I will sing praises.
2 I will give heed to the blameless way. When wilt Thou come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not fasten its grip on me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil.
5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; no one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.
7 He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me.
8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, so as to cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do iniquity.
Most of us know that we should confess our sins in our prayer lives, but do you denounce evil? Yes, we should be careful in deciding what is evil, but something plainly are. When we encounter them, we should denounce them to others and to God.
Ask God to keep evil away from GodConBlog. Read this Psalm and pick out some the evils it names ...arrogance...deceit...perversity and ask God to hold them at bay for this conference. As Him to make them apparent if they arrive and to give us the power to drive them back.
