The Wicked and Sinners vs. the Righteous and Those in the Torah (a prayer; Psalm 1)

Abba, thank You for Your Word and for Psalm 1. After all, in Psalm 1, we learn the difference between the righteous and the wicked and the sinners.

I do not want to be considered wicked in any way and I sure want to minimize how I am a sinner. Thank You for showing me through Psalm 1 how being in Your Torah and meditating on it day and night is a key to be fruitful, successful, avoid sin, stay/remain nourished, and not feel parched or droopy. 

The wicked will not stand during the judgment. They will be judged and will not make it to heaven for eternity. Rather, they will face eternal fire.

It's so easy to not do the right thing. It's also easy to excuse poor/wrong behavior and choices. As a sinner, I can so easily make the shift to become wicked. 

Help me be guarded for this. I want eternal life. And I can guard against being wicked, and from sin, through remaining in You and in the Torah, through thinking on it night and day. And I need to do this every single day for the rest of my life.

Thank You for the safeguard of Your Word. Thank You for telling me how to stand and how to have eternal life. Thank You for showing me the way.

Will You, please, help me remain focused on being in Your Word and seeking it and You first in all I do?
