A Heartfelt Prayer Based on Psalm 26: Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking Your guidance and vindication. Search my heart, test my mind, and see my desire to walk in integrity. Let Your steadfast love and truth guide me as I separate myself from deceit and walk in Your ways. I rejoice in Your presence, Lord, and find joy in worshiping You. Protect me from the ways of the wicked, and keep me grounded in Your righteousness. Redeem me with Your grace so that I may stand firm and bless Your name in the assembly. Amen.
