It feels unjust to see the wicked prosper, especially when we’re doing our best to walk in devotion. Sometimes this reality can drive us to intercession. We can cry out for justice and to make an appeal based on our Bible-based promises. This is what David did in Psalms 26. We follow his example by praying this prayer that’s crafted from this Psalms. Cry out for justice with me then share this prayer with your friends and family.  

Prayer

Lord, there has to be a benefit to serving You with all my heart. Will You differentiate between me and the wicked? Promote me ahead of them! What about the lukewarm? Will You lift me up above them? I’m unknown and live among the shadows. The cheaters and self-promoters are flying past me. Vindicate me for living out Your character. Bless me for using Your methods. Give me a voice among Your leaders and nourish my inner man by satisfying my desires. Demonstrate that your way is the best way in the name of Jesus.

Psalms 26:1-12

In you, Lord my God,  I put my trust. I trust in you;  do not let me be put to shame,  nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. Show me your ways, Lord,  teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God, my Savior,  and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth  and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me,  for you, Lord, are good. Good and upright is the Lord;  therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful  toward those who keep the demands of his covenant. For the sake of your name, Lord,  forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Who, then, are those who fear the Lord? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose. They will spend their days in prosperity,  and their descendants will inherit the land. The Lord confides in those who fear him;  he makes his covenant known to them. My eyes are ever on the Lord,  for only he will release my feet from the snare. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. Look on my affliction and my distress  and take away all my sins. See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame,  for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness protect me,  because my hope, Lord, is in you.Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
