TODAY’S WORD…and PRAYER

.

Teach me, Lord, the way of Your decrees,
that I may follow it to the end.
Give me understanding, so that I may keep Your law
and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of Your commands,
for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward Your statutes
and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to Your word.
.

Fulfill your promise to Your servant,
so that You may be feared.
Take away the disgrace I dread,
for Your laws are good.
How I long for Your precepts!
In Your righteousness preserve my life.

.

– Psalm 119:33-40 (GNT)
