Praying Part of Psalm 119

Praying the Scriptures helps me to internalize them and live them out. It is a wonderful way to meditate on God's Word. This is my prayer based on the passage below.

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

I have sworn and I will confirm it, That I will keep Your righteous ordinances. 

I am exceedingly afflicted; Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word. 

O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, And teach me Your ordinances. 

My life is continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget Your law. 

The wicked have laid a snare for me, Yet I have not gone astray from Your precepts. 

I have inherited Your testimonies forever, For they are the joy of my heart. 

I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, even to the end.

Psalms 119:105-112 

 

O Lord, I'd grope around like a blind man through life if I didn't have the Bible.

I promise to follow your teachings and seek your desires all of my days.

I'm sick because of the sin that is so rampant all around me. I can't go on without your strength.

Please listen when I praise you! Teach me more and more how to be like you.

I'm free to make choices every day but I can't make them without you.

People who do wrong want me to do wrong with them, but I refuse. You are my Lord, not them.

You gave me your words as a gift and I'm not giving them to anyone else. I'll cherish them always and forever.

I want to always do what you desire.  Oh God, help me to please you. Help me to honor you all my days.

Amen
