Hey everyone, this is Mary DeMuth and this is Pray Every Day where I pray you through the Bible verse by verse with joy and intention and all the things.

Today I'm going to be reading from Psalm 26 and Psalm 27 in the World English Bible.

And after each one, I will pray for you. This is what it says.

Psalm 26 is a Psalm of David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked

in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering. Examine me, Yahweh, improve me. Try my heart

and my mind. For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

I hate the assembly of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh,

that I may make the voice of Thanksgiving

to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds. Yawai, I love the habitation of your house,

the place where your glory dwells. Don't gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty

men in whose hands is wickedness. Their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be merciful to me. My foot stands in an even

place in the congregations I will bless Yahweh. Mind if I pray for you. Lord, I do want to walk in my integrity. Help us to do that.

To have integrity is to be who we are on the outside and it matches who we are on the inside

and that our words match what we do. And Lord, that cannot, that's an inside job. That's the Holy Spirit's job from within.

We pray for those fruits of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness,

faithfulness, self-control against these things. There's no such law. We want your goodness.

We want those fruits. And we understand that you can grant them and you are, you so graciously

give us so much through the Holy Spirit and we're humbled and grateful.

So grant that to us today.
