Praying Through: Psalm 119:89-96
The Psalm
Psalm 119:89–96 (CSB)
89 LORD, your word is forever; it is firmly fixed in heaven.90 Your faithfulness is for all generations; you established the earth, and it stands firm.
91 Your judgments stand firm today, for all things are your servants.
92 If your instruction had not been my delight, I would have died in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts, for you have given me life through them.
94 I am yours; save me, for I have studied your precepts.
95 The wicked hope to destroy me, but I contemplate your decrees.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your command is without limit.
The Prayer
My Living Word
What you say
- I can take you at your word
- because you alone never lie
- and cannot lie
- and only speak truth
- and never in riddles
- and you are not waiting for me to figure it out
- you give me your law
- your word
- your gospel
- your prophecies
- and you did not leave me to my stupidity
- to my ignorance
- to figure on my own.
For you alone
- gave me your Son
- so that I would be born again
- gave your Spirit
- so my eyes would be opened
- so my ears would hear
- so my heart would understand
- so my mind could comprehend
- and you, my Father
- grant me maturity
- in your time
- for your glory
- and my good.
I love you so much.
Be glorified in me
- today.
Amen.
