Day Twenty-Two: Confessions of the Heart

Day Twenty-two of Thirty Days of Prayers from the Psalms 

Confessions of the Heart 

Psalms 28, 29, 31, 139

Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most 

Holy Place. Psalm 28:2 

Investigate my life, O God. I am an open book to you. You watch me grow through all

stages of my life. I ask that you come close to me today and hear my prayers. 

I tell you what I need, calling out for help and lifting my arms toward 

your inner sanctum. I am asking you to carry me like a good shepherd carries his 

sheep. I run to you, God, for dear life. Free me from the traps I so easily fall in. If I put 

my life in your hands, you do not drop me, you never let me down. I ask for your 

kindness when I feel hollow inside. My troubles can wear me out. Desperately, I throw 

myself on you. You are my God. Hour by hour, I place my days in your hands. You warm 

me with your smile, you save me because you love me. Help me to be brave, to be 

strong, and not to give up. 

[What do you need to specifically confess to the Lord today?]

Defender against evil, and supplier of daily bread, you are my life sustainer. 

Your love never quits. 

You rebuild broken lives and bandage wounds. 

Your love never quits.

Father, I lift your name high in praise and adoration. Magnificent are you, Lord. There 

are no boundaries to your greatness. You are all mercy and grace, not quick to anger 

but rich in love. All that you have created blesses your holy name. You keep every one 

of your promises, lavishing your favor on us all. Everything you do is right. The 

trademark on all your work is love. You are higher than anything and anyone, out- 

shining everything I see in the skies. Your generosity never runs dry. Your sunrise 

always breaks through my darkness. My heart is ready, my spirit firm, trusting in you.

My blessings are not for my sake, but for your name, be the glory. On account of your 

merciful love and faithful ways, I am blessed. 

I pray that all my loved ones are covered with that same blessings and protection.

what you have asked me to do. Father, with you by my side, I am not afraid, for your 

love never quits. When I feel like I am on the edge, ready to fall, you grab hold of me 

with the strength of your right hand. Help me to stay on course, walking steadily on the 

road you reveal to me. You have prescribed the right way to live. Help me stay on that 

course so I may never have any regrets. Thank you for your word which speaks straight

Thank you for your presence in my life. You are my source of joy, security, and 

salvation. You are my defender and guide forever. I donʼt have to fear when trouble 

comes, for you are with me. You desire complete honesty from me when I pray, and 

when I give you thanks with all my heart, it honors you. Thank you, Lord, that I am 

considered precious in your eyes. My true happiness is found walking in the path of 

your commands. So I walk in the freedom you give and share this joy with others. When 

I ponder the direction of my life, I turn to you for answers, and you give me good
