I read this in a Swindoll devotional book today.
David’s prayer as a leader, “Keep me from deliberate wrongs; help me to stop doing them. Only then can I be free of guilt and innocent of some great crime.” Ps 19:13
What a great prayer. David understood our capacity, your capacity, my capacity, to overthrow every good thing with one stupid act, one willful sojourn in sin.
What a great pattern of prayer for every leader!
Keep me; guard me from trashing it all.
Where I have failed in the past- free me not first of guilt, but from the act.
We will then know true innocence.
Pray it with me.
“Keep me from deliberate wrongs. Help me to stop doing them. Only then can I be free of guilt and innocent of some great crime.” Ps 19:13
