Psalm 25 is an individual seeking God's deliverance, guidance, and forgiveness. Concerns with the right path are given prominence and underscore the hope of the psalmist. Psalm 26 confirms that at the heart of the individual's prayer is God's judgment. Steadfast love and faithfulness, integrity and purpose is of certainty.

Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God
of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
Psalm 25:4-5 ESV

A trusting obedient heart following the Lord will bring release from fear, anguish, and loneliness. It is the nature of God to lift up the soul. Divine aid comes to those who fear the Lord. Because the Lord is righteous and good, He teaches sinners the path they should follow. He leads with faithfulness and love.

The Lord is the friend of those who obey Him and He affirms His covenant with them. Take refuge in the Lord and trust His guiding hand. For in faithfulness and love He leads. In the assembly of His people, praise the Lord. Rituals in the house of the Lord lift the soul and give guidance to His followers.

O Lord, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells.
Psalm 26:8 ESV

Lord Jesus, bless me with a teachable heart and a repentant spirit.
I long to bless You with my life, as You have blessed me.
