00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.259
Prayer against presumptuous sin. Heavenly Father,

00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:08.480
I come before you with a humble and repentant

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:12.740
heart, asking you to search me and know me. Your

00:00:12.740 --> 00:00:17.719
word warns in Psalm 1913, keep back your servant

00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.600
also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.800
dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless,

00:00:26.179 --> 00:00:28.820
and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:33.700
Lord, I ask You to restrain me from every willful

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:37.320
and arrogant sin that rises up in pride and self

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.619
-dependence. Forgive me, Father, for the times

00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:43.140
I have knowingly stepped outside of Your will,

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.780
justifying my actions or ignoring the conviction

00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:50.039
of Your Spirit. I do not want to walk in self

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.579
-righteousness, but in the fear of the Lord,

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:58.689
which is the beginning of wisdom. Your word says

00:00:58.689 --> 00:01:03.090
in Numbers 15, 30, and 31 that the person who

00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:06.709
does anything presumptuously brings reproach

00:01:06.709 --> 00:01:10.890
on the Lord. Lord, let me never take Your grace

00:01:10.890 --> 00:01:14.769
for granted or treat Your commands lightly. Help

00:01:14.769 --> 00:01:18.489
me to walk in reverence, submission, and humility.

00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:23.030
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew

00:01:23.030 --> 00:01:28.439
a right spirit within me. Psalm 51. 10. Help

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.620
me not to trust in my own understanding, but

00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:35.120
to acknowledge you in all my ways, Proverbs 3

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.879
.5 .6, so that I will not fall into sin through

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.180
pride or careless disobedience. Reveal to me,

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:47.780
Lord, any area where I am blind to my own faults.

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.540
Let me not deceive myself or harden my heart,

00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:55.819
for your word says in Hebrews 3 .13, Exort one

00:01:55.819 --> 00:01:59.260
another daily, lest any of you be hardened through

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:03.459
the deceitfulness of sin. Clothe me with humility,

00:02:03.819 --> 00:02:06.980
for you resist the proud, but give grace to the

00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:11.860
humble. James 4 -6. Lead me by your spirit, so

00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:15.340
I will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Galatians

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:19.180
5 -16. And teach me to delight in doing your

00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:22.659
will, O God. I declare that sin shall not have

00:02:22.659 --> 00:02:25.939
dominion over me, for I am not under law, but

00:02:25.939 --> 00:02:30.659
under grace." Romans 6, 14. Strengthen me to

00:02:30.659 --> 00:02:34.199
walk in obedience, holiness, and truth, not by

00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.699
my power, but by yours. Thank you, Father, for

00:02:37.699 --> 00:02:40.039
your mercy and for correcting those you love.

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.219
Keep me from wandering, and let the words of

00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:46.099
my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable

00:02:46.099 --> 00:02:49.879
in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:55.169
Psalm 19, 14, in Jesus' holy name, amen.
