Prayer of Dedication to His Word

If I speak, I want only to speak the very words of God (1 Peter 4:11). The plans of the mind and orderly thinking belong to man, but from You, Lord, comes the wise answer of the tongue (Proverbs 16:1). Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit (Proverbs 18:21). I love speaking God’s Word and so I will bear much fruit.

Thank You for Your Word which imparts faith to my heart (Romans 10:17).  As I believe Your Word, You fill me with all joy and peace, and I will abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).  Therefore, I desire to not let Your Word depart from my mouth as I meditate upon its truths day and night.  Almighty God, I know You are capable, and so I pray to You for this. And I vow to walk in Your Word daily, because then I know You will fulfill Your promise to make my way prosperous, and to fill my life with good success (Joshua 1:8). 

I delight myself in You and Your Word.  Because of that, You put Your desires within my heart.  I commit my way unto You, and You bring it to pass (Psalm 37:4-5).  I am confident that You are at work in me now, both to will and to do all Your good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).

I will keep my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking lies (Psalm 34:13). I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin. I will put a muzzle over my mouth as long as the wicked are before me (Psalm 39:1), because whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from trouble (Proverbs 21:23). He who guards his lips guards his life (Proverbs 13:3). Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent; and discerning if he holds his tongue (Proverbs 17:28), but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18).

When I speak Your Word aloud, I speak forth life into my own heart and the hearts of others.  As I continue to hold forth Your Word, Lord, teach me to rejoice as in the day of Christ, knowing my labor for You is never in vain, Father (Philippians 2:16).  Teach me to always be a doer of Your Word, not only a hearer (James 1:22).  By keeping Your Word, I realize Your love is made perfect in me.  Please give me Your grace, Lord, to be both a doer and a keeper of Your Word. 

I am a wise child, and I will heed my Father’s instructions (Proverbs 13:1). I no longer conform to the pattern of this world. I am transformed by the renewing of my mind through God’s Word (Romans 12:2). God my Father revives me according to His Word (Psalm 119:25). I truly do not want to let the Word depart from before my eyes, Father, so I pray to You to help me keep it within my heart. For it is life to me; I have found it and it is health and healing to all my flesh and bones (Proverbs 4:21-22).
