In Psalm 19:12-14, David prays for God’s forgiveness, protection, and guidance so that his heart and words might be pleasing in God’s sight. In today's prayer and devotional, Jessica Van Roekel reminds us that victory over sin isn’t about willpower alone. It comes from surrendering our hearts and minds to the Lord, allowing Him to be our Rock, Refuge, and Redeemer. God provides a way out of temptation, giving us strength to overcome sinful patterns and live in freedom.
