Psalm 1 Prayer

Righteous God,

Your Word says that we are blessed if we avoid the ways of the wicked, the sinners, and the mockers.  Give us hunger and hearts to be righteous, to be that spiritual tree, planted in Your streams of Living Water.  Watch over your children so we do not end up in destruction, but so we walk in your righteousness.  

In Jesus' name,

Amen

Psalm 1 NIV

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked 

or stand in the way that sinners take

or sit in the company of mockers,

but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

and who meditates on his law day and night.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, 

which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
