Praying Through: Psalm 119:33-40
The Psalm
Psalm 119:33–40 (CSB)
33 Teach me, LORD, the meaning of your statutes, and I will always keep them.34 Help me understand your instruction, and I will obey it and follow it with all my heart.
35 Help me stay on the path of your commands, for I take pleasure in it.
36 Turn my heart to your decrees and not to dishonest profit.
37 Turn my eyes from looking at what is worthless; give me life in your ways.
38 Confirm what you said to your servant, for it produces reverence for you.
39 Turn away the disgrace I dread; indeed, your judgments are good.
40 How I long for your precepts! Give me life through your righteousness.
The Prayer
My Living Word
Lord,
- Give me your word
- Speak to me
- and you have spoken to me
- because you gave me your word.
Write your word upon my heart
- You and your Son
- come live in my heart
- Your Spirit
- seals my heart
- and I will never sin against you
- because your Son has perfectly taken my sin
- and I have his perfect righteousness.
I have not heard enough of your voice
- I want to hear it all the day long
- because when you speak
- I have been risen from death
- of my sin and transgression
- into peace and life everlasting,
- with you,
- my King Jesus.
Today,
- be exalted.
Forever.
Amen.
