Psalm 109:21
But deal well with me, O Sovereign Lord, for the sake of your own reputation!
Rescue me because you are so faithful and good. (NLT)

Here’s a good way to pray. Ask God to hear and answer your prayer based on his faithfulness and goodness, and not yours.

I’m pretty sure I can’t be good enough long enough to deserve for God to hear and answer my prayers the way I want. My motives are often good, but not great. God’s motives are entirely different. They are always good, and always great. They always align with his faithful love and essential goodness. What he wants for me is better than anything I will ever desire for myself.

Wise prayer, then, is based on his faithfulness and goodness, and not mine or yours.

When God deals well with us, it helps people see how good and kind he is.

When God rescues us, it helps people see how merciful and gracious he is.

It gets better.

Our Sovereign God has a well-earned reputation for taking fickle and foolish people like us and using us in such a manner that people see us not as paragons of virtue, but as trophies of God’s grace. (See Ephesians 2:10.)

I will pray based on God’s faithful love and goodness.

O Sovereign God, only a faithful and good Father like you could love such a mess like me and turn my problems and pains into something beautiful, something good. You are the glorious and loving rescuer of broken people. You are the merciful and kind renovator of messed-up lives. You provide the salvation we are lost without, the provision we are destitute without, the hope we are helpless without. LORD, you are good, and your mercy endures forever. Hallelujah and amen!

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
