Delighting In Obedience



Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law
    and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands,
    for there I find delight.

—Psalm 119:34-35 (NIV)



Heavenly Father,


Open up the eyes of my understanding to all that You would have me know—and then help me hold on to those truths that You have revealed, so I can find my delight in obeying Your instructions with all my heart. 


With Your Spirit as my teacher, open up the richness of Your Word to my spirit and help me to understand everything that I need to know in order to accomplish those things that You have for me to do.

Lead me to that place of absolute obedience—as You bend my will along the path of Your commands—for my own good.

And let me discover those places of great blessing that can only be found as I follow all of Your instructions—as I put my trust in Your great love for me and Your upmost desire that I would find the best You have for me in Christ.


Open up the eyes of my understanding to all that You would have me know—and then help me hold on to those truths that You have revealed, so I can find my delight in obeying Your instructions with all my heart. 


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
