Read Psalm 25:1-10

To you, O Lord, I offer my prayer;

²           in you, my God, I trust.

Save me from the shame of defeat;

don’t let my enemies gloat over me!

³     Defeat does not come to those who trust in you,

but to those who are quick to rebel against you.

⁴     Teach me your ways, O Lord;

make them known to me.

⁵     Teach me to live according to your truth,

for you are my God, who saves me.

I always trust in you.

⁶     Remember, O Lord, your kindness and constant love

which you have shown from long ago.

⁷     Forgive the sins and errors of my youth.

In your constant love and goodness, remember me, Lord!

⁸     Because the Lord is righteous and good,

he teaches sinners the path they should follow.

⁹     He leads the humble in the right way

and teaches them his will.

¹⁰   With faithfulness and love he leads

all who keep his covenant and obey his commands.

Think

"To you O Lord, I lift up my soul.  In you a put my trust" Vs 1&2

Pray

I love the image the Psalmist offers - lifting up your soul to the Lord.  Everything about us - our frailties, strengths, sins, goodness - we hold it up to God and trust him with it.

Spend some time 'lifting' your soul to the Lord.
