Please 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)


Merciful and Gracious LORD,


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—as You patiently guide me into all Truth.


Let the commandments of Your Word permeate my heart, as I listen for the voice of Your Spirit to reveal the role that each one plays in protecting, providing for, and preserving my life—and as You unfold before me Your perfect plans and purposes for my life.

By that same Spirit within me, help me to live as I should—to fully understand and apply Your righteous regulations to my life—that I might live the abundant life that is available to those who choose to follow after Truth.

And help me to be grateful—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!


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—as You patiently guide me into all Truth.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
