A Prayer about Knowing What is Right

He leads the humble in what is right and teaches the humble his way. Psalm 25:9

Heavenly Father,

Sometimes we feel so confused about what is right. 

Direct us to your Word, 

where you make some things very clear:

You are right: 

“Good and upright is the Lord; 

therefore he instructs sinners in the way” (Psalm 25:8).

You are right to say we are sinners; 

you are right to instruct us in the way.

While we don’t deserve it, 

you have shown us 

“steadfast love and faithfulness,” 

You have kept your 

“covenant and [your] decrees” (Psalm 25:10).

You have pardoned our great guilt (Psalm 25:10).

—our incessant drive to do things our own way.

Indeed, Lord, humble us. 

Teach us your way. 

Lead us in your “integrity and uprightness” 

in all we say and do, 

in all we write and post.

In the name of our humble Savior. Amen. 

Read Psalm 25.
