Lord God, You Are My Pride Confounder

August 1 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 48-50

Key Verse – Jeremiah 48:31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.

LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY PRIDE CONFOUNDER Lord God, You are my pride Confounder Who keeps me in Your protection Thank You for saving me against transgressions’ corruption As well as from wicked curses and deceit-causing dysfunction For me to overcome iniquity’s affliction. Lord God, You are my pride Confounder Who props me through Your grace Thank You for freeing me against suffocation of selfishness’ embrace As well as from shameful imprisonment brought by fleshly race For me to stay in Your perfectly designed plan, devoid of faulty trace. Lord God, You are my pride Confounder Who sanctifies me by Your righteousness Thank You for guarding me against wallowing in derision’s filthiness As well as from fatal blow of arrogance and loftiness For me to repent, confessing to You my haughtiness. Lord God, You are my pride Confounder Who fences me around Your security Thank You for driving me against running after vanity As well as from humanistic counsel and intellectual fallibility For me to seek always Your wisdom’s authority. Lord God, You are my pride Confounder Who preserves me in Your care Thank You for shielding me against adversary’s persecuting stare As well as from despicable foes and discouraging despair For me to conquer fear while Your Gospel I share. Lord God, You are my pride Confounder Who forgives me along Your holiness-might Thank You for purging me against devouring sin-blight As well as from fruitlessness and dryness of carnality’s struggling plight For me to humble myself before, instructed by Your truth-light. Lord God, You are my pride Confounder Who seals me with Your love’s settlement Thank You for upholding me against oppressions of worldly allurement As well as from tormenting anguish and vexation of sheer self-fulfillment For me to serve You along faith’s empowerment.
