“O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your wrath.
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am pining away;
Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed.” Psalm 6:1-2

“The Lord has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.” Psalm 118:18

“Come, let us return to the Lord.
For He has torn us, but He will heal us;
He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.” Hosea 6:1

Lord,

I repent of any unconfessed sin in my heart. Do not rebuke me.

Be merciful and forgiving. Show me Your ways.

I am listening to You and no one else’s opinions. You have my undivided attention, Lord.

You want for me to walk away from unhealthy patterns of living.

Show me how to take better care of my health. You are the best Physician and Counselor.

I want to grow closer to You as I honor Your temple.

In Jesus’ name, I boldly pray. Amen.
