Open my eyes to see
the wonderful truths in your instructions.
I am only a foreigner in the land.
Don’t hide your commands from me!
—Psalm 119:18-19 (NLT)
Loving LORD,
Do not hide Your commands from me, but rather open my eyes and let me see the wonderful truths in your instructions—so that I may find my way safely through this foreign land, on my way home to You.
As I faithfully search Your
Word, reveal to me the depths of its meaning—and let me be filled with wonder
at the truths for life that You have waiting there for me.
Do not let me forget that
Your Word contains every instruction that I will ever need to navigate this
evil world through which I now pass—that Your Word shows me how to live
protected by Your peace, filled with Your joy, and strengthened by Your presence
in me—as You make provision for every need, situation or circumstance that I will
ever face.
Command me in the way that
I should go and never withhold Your instructions from me and grant that I would
willingly submit to Your Voice—for You are the only One who knows my way and
can bring me safely home to You.
Do not hide Your commands from me, but rather open my eyes and let me see the wonderful truths in your instructions—so that I may find my way safely through this foreign land, on my way home to You.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
