Key Verses: Psalm 119:129-133…

“Author is Anonymous, some suggest Ezra the priest”

129 Your laws are wonderful.
    No wonder I obey them!
130 The teaching of Your Word gives light,
    so even the simple can understand.
131 I pant with expectation,
    longing for Your commands.
132 Come and show me Your mercy,
    as You do for all who love Your Name.
133 Guide my steps by Your Word,
    so I will not be overcome by evil.
134 Ransom me from the oppression of evil people;
    then I can obey Your commandments.
135 Look upon me with love;
    teach me Your decrees.
136 Rivers of tears gush from my eyes
    because people disobey Your instructions.

137 O Lord, You are righteous,
    and Your regulations are fair.
138 Your laws are perfect
    and completely trustworthy.
139 I am overwhelmed with indignation,
    for my enemies have disregarded Your Words.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested;
    that is why I love them so much.
141 I am insignificant and despised,
    but I don’t forget Your commandments.
142 Your justice is eternal,
    and Your instructions are perfectly true.
143 As pressure and stress bear down on me,
    I find joy in Your commands.
144 Your laws are always right;
    help me to understand them so I may live.

PRAYER:

***For our prayer today, either read the key verses (119:129-133) or the entire passage out loud as your prayer to the Father in Heaven. Tie your heart around the words, say them with sincere meaning from your heart. Then pray for each of your family members and friends who don’t yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Pray that they would be drawn to the Word of God. Pray that they will see that God’s Word gives light and His Word can be read with understanding. Pray that your unsaved loved ones would long to read the Scriptures and find the words they read as the guidance they need to overcome evil and the world’s temptations***
