Psalm 18:20-24
GOD made my life complete 
when I placed all the pieces before him. 
When I got my act together, 
he gave me a fresh start. 
Now I’m alert to GOD’s ways; 
I don’t take God for granted. 
Every day I review the ways he works; 
I try not to miss a trick. 
I feel put back together, 
and I’m watching my step. 
God rewrote the text of my life 
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes. (MSG)

Some people are genuinely terrified of thinking God might look a little too deeply at their lives. King David tells God here that he is an open book. He invited God to read any page, every page if he preferred. He had learned the life lesson of offering our broken places before God. God, and God alone, can put the pieces back together perfectly.

Look at how David describes this:

GOD made my life complete.

He gave me a fresh start.

I feel put back together.

GOD rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

This creates a good prayer to pray:

Our Father, I place before you the broken pieces of my life. I require a fresh start. I cannot get my life together on my own. Awaken my understanding of your will and ways. Forgive me for taking you for granted. I will, from now on, turn to you first, last, and always. Each evening, I will review how you worked in my life that day. You reintegrate my heart, mind, and strength. You are writing a better ending to the book of my life. Amen. 

I will open the book of my life to God as an invitation for his examination and editing. 

Our Father, I place before you the broken pieces of my life. I require a fresh start. I cannot get my life together on my own. Awaken my understanding of your will and ways. Forgive me for taking you for granted. I will, from now on, turn to you first, last, and always. Each evening, I will review how you worked in my life that day. You reintegrate my heart, mind, and strength. You are writing a better ending to the book of my life. Amen.

Daily D – 1 Timothy 2:1-4

1 Timothy 2:1-4 “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.”

Daily D – 2 Thessalonians 1:3

2 Thessalonians 1:3 “Dear brothers and sisters, we can’t help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing.”

Daily D – 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3

1 Thessalonians 1:2, 3 “We always thank God for all of you and pray for you constantly. As we pray to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and the enduring hope you have because of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Daily D – Colossians 2:8-10

Colossians 2:8-10 “Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.”

Daily D – Philippians 2:2-5

Philippians 2:2-5 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
