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.
