Praying Through: Psalm 119:15
The Psalm
Psalms 119:15 (CSB) I will meditate on your precepts and think about your ways.
The Prayer
My Living Word
I do not have the intelligence
- nor the drive
- nor the will
- nor the discipline
- nor the effort
- nor the where-with-all
- nor the desire
- nor the wisdom
- to pursue your word
- to read your word
- to understand your word
- to comprehend your word
- to meditate on your word.
I don't got it in me.
Because if I did
- I would have read your word
- understand it
- and do what you say
- perfectly
- to the letter.
But I see mere parts of your word
- and in my finite comprehension
- fail to do every part.
If I understood
- I would have done
- but I do not understand
- and I sin against you.
Nonetheless
- I have your Word
- and he dwells in me
- and your Spirit
- makes me alive
- my heart to love
- comes from you.
I am weak and feeble
- ignorant and foolish
- but you have saved me
- from my own sins and depravity
- once and for all
- forever.
I love you.
Amen.
