Main Thought:
This prayer simply exults in God’s word. We are close to God when His word enters our ears and hearts. We pant for His commandments and weep for those who do not follow them. Let us always be so devoted to our Lord.
Psalm 119:129–136 פ
Your testimonies are wonderful;
therefore my soul keeps them.
The unfolding of your words gives light;
it imparts understanding to the simple.
I open my mouth and pant,
because I long for your commandments.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
as is your way with those who love your name.
Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
Redeem me from man’s oppression,
that I may keep your precepts.
Make your face shine upon your servant,
and teach me your statutes.
My eyes shed streams of tears,
because people do not keep your law.
Prayer
Praise and Honor belong to You, our God, because You have given us Your Word, by which You clothe our poor and naked souls in the garments of salvation, and bring to us heavenly and abiding treasures. Fashion our hearts by Your Holy Spirit, that we crave not the things of this earth, but desire the things above. Amen.
