PSALM 119
A heartfelt prayer from the Psalmist that can be used as a tool to transform your affections to love God's Word more, appreciate His goodness, mercies, severity, faithfulness, righteousness, and character of God, and in so doing stands in awe of the Word of God.
CONFESSION
A sense of preparation of how the Holy Spirit can work through you. Also called reconciliation or penance, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the acknowledgment of sinfulness in public or private, regarded as necessary to obtain divine forgiveness. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
PSALM 124 - 126
God is always with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. We are never abandoned or alone. Our help is in the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
PSALMS 120 - 122
A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.

and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.(ESV)

FISHING IN DEEP WATER (JUST GIVE ME JESUS SERIES)
4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. (ESV)

14 And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.(ESV)

JESUS AND ZACCHAEUS
Zacchaeus was a tax collector of the city Jericho and learned that Jesus the prophet was passing through the city. Zacchaeus is a very important character in the Bible because he is a concrete example of a sinful man who was changed by Jesus Christ's compassion over sinners.
