Making Love Last | Week 2 | Wednesday

I find David's tactics interesting. The way he interacts with God - one minute demanding ("Make haste to me" "Give ear to my voice") and then softening it with phrases like, "Let my prayer be as incense." You can almost sense the urgency in David. A sense of fear or longing that requires him to seek God out as quickly as possible.

I like the way he petitions for:
1. Guard my mouth
2. Keep me from wanting to do evil
3. Keep me from evil snares and traps
4. Keep me from hanging out with the wrong crowd
5. Allow the righteous to correct me and help me accept it well
6. Let the wicked fall and me escape

I like the way he ends, "My eyes are upon You. I take refuge in You. Do not leave my soul destitute."

Lord, help me keep my eyes on you when there is SO much to distract me...
