A Prayer about the Reviving Word

My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word! Psalm 119:25

Author God,

We’ve all felt like the sojourner on earth who, 

even as he walked through trials 

such as “soul-melting sorrow,” 

“scorn and contempt,” 

and the “dread of reproach,” 

pleaded with you, 

“strengthen me according to your word” (Psalm 119:19, 22, 28). 

We join him in praying that you would 

“put false ways far from us, 

and graciously teach us your law” (Psalm 119:29).

May we set your rules before us 

and cling to your testimonies, 

that we might not be put to shame. 

Enlarge our hearts, 

that we may run in the way of your commandments, 

remembering that the first and greatest 

is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, 

with all your soul, 

and with all your mind,” 

and the second is like it: 

“Love your neighbor as yourself” 

In the name of Jesus, the Word-made-flesh. Amen. 

Read Psalm 119:29-32; Matthew 22:37-39.
