Praying to Walk in God’s Word

Your Word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens (Psalm 119:89).  All Your Words are pure, O God (Proverbs 30:5).  Your way is perfect, and Your Word is tried and true – flawless (Psalm 18:30).  By Your Word, You made the heavens and all the starry host, O God of the Universe (Psalm 33:6). 

Lord God, I bless You because You have given me rest according to all that You have promised to me; not one Word of all Your good promises has ever failed (1 Kings 8:56).  In light of this truth, I desire to walk in Your Word at all times. 

I love Your Word, Father; it is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105).  When I go, Your Word will lead me. When I sleep, Your Word will keep me.  When I awaken, Your Word will speak to me.  Your Word is truly a lamp and a light for me (Proverbs 6:22-23).

Long ago I learned from Your statutes that You established Your words to last forever (Psalm 119:152). All Your words are true; all Your righteous laws are eternal (Psalm 119:160). Your Word is truth (John 17:17). Give me understanding according to Your Word (Psalm 119:169).

Your Word has revived me and given me life (Psalm 119:50).  Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors (Psalm 119:24).  I will worship toward Your Holy Temple and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and for Your truth and faithfulness.  For You have exalted above all else Your name and Your Word, and You have magnified Your Word above even Your Name (Psalm 138:2). 

All the promises that You have made are “yes” in Christ Jesus. And so, in Him the “amen” is spoken by us unto Your glory, O God (2 Corinthians 1:20).  Your Word is quick, alive, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.  It pierces even to the dividing asunder of my soul and spirit, and of my joints and marrow; and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of my heart (Hebrews 4:12). 

Heavenly Father, I want to live by every word that comes from Your mouth (Matthew 4:4).  I hide Your Word in my heart that I may not sin against You (Psalm 119:11). Strengthen me according to Your Word (Psalm 119:28). Give me understanding, and I will keep Your Word and obey it with all my heart (Psalm 119:34). Father, I rise to give You thanks for Your righteous Word (Psalm 119:62), and I will endeavor to walk in the light of Your Word all the days of my life (Psalm 119:112).

I know Your Word will never return to You without it having its desired effect (Isaiah 55:11).  Thank You for Your Word, Father, and teach me to keep on walking in Your Word.

O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His Name together (Psalm 34:3).
