The Psalm
Psalm 119:153–160 (CSB)
153 Consider my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your instruction.154 Champion my cause and redeem me; give me life as you promised.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked because they do not study your statutes.
156 Your compassions are many, LORD; give me life according to your judgments.
157 My persecutors and foes are many. I have not turned from your decrees.
158 I have seen the disloyal and feel disgust because they do not keep your word.
159 Consider how I love your precepts; LORD, give me life according to your faithful love.
160 The entirety of your word is truth, each of your righteous judgments endures forever.
The Prayer
My Living Word
I needed salvation
- because I needed your Son
- not to just save me once
- but to save me always
- and to be my life and hope
- forevermore.
I know all of these truths
- that even in my deepest sin
- you have been so merciful
- and compassionate
- and loving towards me
- because I have your Son
- my Lord Jesus Christ
- for now and always.
I give thanks to you
- Almighty God
- there is none like you.
Amen.
