A Prayer from Psalm 119 // Audrey

Praying His Word for us today as I'm in Psalm 119.

Lord, please keep us pure by helping us be guarded by your word. May we seek you with our whole hearts & not wander from your commandments. May we store up your word in our hearts that we might not sin against you. Give us life according to your word & teach us your statues! Help us understand the way of your precepts & meditate on your wonderful works, strengthen us according to your word. Put false ways far from us. May we choose the way of faithfulness.

Incline our hearts to what you have done and not to selfish gain. Turn our eyes from looking at worthless things & give us life in your ways. May our comfort in affliction be that your promises give life. May your steadfast love & mercy comfort us for you are good & do good. Your faithfulness endures to all generations. May your word be a lamp to our feet & a light for our path. May we not cease to offer you praise & your testimonies be the joy of our hearts. May you be our hiding place & our shield as we hope in your word. May we love your commandments & hate every false way.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet
    and a light to my path.
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
    to keep your righteous rules."

Psalm 119:105-106
