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.
