Psalm 119:105-112

1 Passage: Psalm 119:105-112

1 Verse:
Verse 107. I am exceedingly afflicted; revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.

1 Prayer: Father, You know my afflictions. Whether they rise to the level of the "exceedingly afflicted", I can't quite be sure. But regardless, a little revival would not be unwelcome. Revive me so that I may live anew with You. Your word says Your mercies are new every morning, and God You know how I need them this morning. Help me stay mindful of the promises of Your word to me today, so that in my affliction I can be revived and renewed.

Psalm 119:97-104

1 Passage: Psalm 119:97-104

1 Verse:
Verse 102. I have not turned aside from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me.

1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for being my teacher. There is no greater source of wisdom and knowledge than You. You are the only source of all wisdom and knowledge. And You have come to teach Your people Yourself. You have placed Your Spirit within to guide, lead and direct, challenge, convict and correct, comfort, encourage and console. Father, You know how much I need You to teach me. I have so much yet to learn. I can't say that I have followed all Your ordinances and avoided every evil way -- no one can. But I haven't turned aside from them either. I turn to them every day, trusting that with You as my Teacher I will learn them and live them. Help me to live and learn today.

Verse 135. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.

Your truth sets me free from the shadows of death. Help me today to be a better servant of Yours -- one who knows Your will and does it well.

1 John 3:19-24

1 Passage: 1 John 3:19-24

1 Verse:
Verse 20. in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.

1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for being greater than my heart. That doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment -- my heart is so small and weak and willful. But that is precisely why I am so incredibly grateful that You are greater. My heart fails me sometimes. It fails You sometimes. Sometimes it is full of condemnation -- of myself, of others, of You even. But You are greater. You know all things. You know that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. You know that includes me. You are the Good Shepherd who knows Your own sheep. I'm sorry I let my heart get away with its condemning spree. But when it does, I praise and thank You that I am not overcome by what my heart condemns. Instead, You in Your greatness have overcome my heart, and I love You for it.
