Praying Through: Psalm 119:9

The Psalm

Psalms 119:9 (CSB) How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping your word.

The Prayer

My Living Word

How can I keep my way pure?

By trusting in you
For your word says
You are the way, the truth, and the life
and
if I believe the Son of God
I will live forever
if I do not believe the Son of God
then your wrath remains upon me.

But then how do I believe in the Son perfectly?

I cannot
because I was born into sin
I have to have someone who was born perfectly
lived perfectly
died without sin
and because doing so
rose again from death
for me
because I cannot believe perfectly.

But the same Christ

whom I must trust for eternal life
is the same Christ
who lived and died for me.

Praise be the name of the Lord

who is alone
is worth to be praised and adored.

Amen.
