Don't Give Up On Me



As I learn your righteous regulations,
    I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your decrees.
    Please don’t give up on me!

—Psalm 119:7-8 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


Please don’t give up on me—don’t leave me to my own understanding and wisdom—but continue in Your unrelenting, passionate, pursuit of my heart, by patiently guiding me to Your truth.


Help me to come to fully understand Your righteous regulations.  Let them permeate my heart—through my experience of walking with You each day—as through Your Spirit You reveal their purpose in protecting, providing for, and preserving my life.

Let my response to this understanding be one of heartfelt thanksgiving and praise to You—not only in my thoughts and words, but even more so in the way I live my life—so that my entire life might become a continuous praise offered to You!

It is my desire to willingly and completely obey You—trusting that because of Your unfailing and unlimited love for me, You will always show me how I can experience Your very best for me.

Please don’t give up on me—don’t leave me to my own understanding and wisdom—but continue in Your unrelenting, passionate, pursuit of my heart, by patiently guiding me to Your truth.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
