O God, unlock my heart, unlock my lips, and I will overcome with my joyous praise! For the source of your pleasure is not in my performance or the sacrifices I might offer to you. The fountain of your pleasure is found in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before you. You will not despise my tenderness as I bow down humbly at your feet. - Psalm 51:15-18
Day 30: Prayer of Assurance
Rev. Aaron Bjerke
O God, What joy for us whose strength comes from you. When we walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings. We will continue to grow stronger. For You, God are our sun and our shield. You give us grace and glory. You will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. - Psalm 84:5
Day 29: Prayer of Love

O God, Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their enemies. Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings. - Psalm 17:7-8
