In my pursuit to be the man God has created to be, my mentor has challenged me to read through Psalm 119 on a monthly basis. The Psalm is broken into eight verse sections that are perfect for a quick meditation. The goal is to read through and pray back the Psalm to God, making it my own. I will be posting those prayers here.
Psalm 119:33-40 (NJT)
33 Lord I beg You to give me understanding of Your word so that I can learn to follow it and hold it close to my heart until the day I die.
34 If I can understand Your law I will be able to keep and obey it with my whole heart.
35 Please direct me as I try to follow Your commands because that is where I find delight.
36 Lord I am a selfish fool that constantly seeks my own desires. Turn my heart towards You.
37 Don't let me focus on things that have no value. I don't want to lose my life because I was not focusing on Your word.
38 You promised to do these things, and through your faithfulness I will learn to righteously fear and respect You.
39 I am terrified of being disgraced because I have failed to keep your commands. Please take away my dread.
40 What a passion I have for your word! I know that by following you my life will be saved because You are righteous.
