Your hands made me and formed me.
Give me understanding so that I might learn Your commands.
Your loyal followers will be glad when they see me,
for I find hope in Your word.

Psalm 119:73-74 NET

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for making me in Your image.  Please help me to learn understanding of Your commands.  I want to say with the Psalmist that Your loyal followers are glad when they see me.  Your Word brings hope.

I know, Lord, that Your regulations are just.
You disciplined me because of Your faithful devotion to me.
May Your loyal love console me,
as you promised Your servant.
May I experience Your compassion, so I might live!
For I find delight in your law.

Psalm 119:75-77 NET

Your regulations and discipline are evidence of Your love.  Please remind me of the safety and comfort of Your love.  Your law brings joy!

May the arrogant be humiliated, for they have slandered me!
But I meditate on Your precepts.
May Your loyal followers turn to me,
those who know Your rules.
May I be fully committed to Your statutes,
so that I might not be ashamed.

Psalm 119:78-80 NET

Please hold the arrogant accountable.  They harm Your loyal followers.  I will continue to turn to Your law.  Please help me to give my full commitment to Your Word.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
