“Listen to me, you who know right from wrong,you who cherish my law in your hearts.Do not be afraid of people’s scorn,nor fear their insults.”—Isaiah 51:7 (NLT)
O LORD my GOD,
Grant me both the knowledge and the understanding of Your law—Your instructions to all those You love—so that I would know right from wrong, walk in obedience to all Your commands, and have no reason to fear the scorn and insults of humanity.
Through Your Word You have
laid open before me that which is right and that which is wrong. Help me to choose to live according to all
that is right—that the light of Christ may be seen in me and You would be
glorified.
Help me to cherish the
Truth of Your Word in my heart—to read Your Word to know it, to study Your Word
to understand it, and to obey Your Word to experience all the peace and joy it
brings to those who are in right-standing with You.
Do not let me be afraid to
be scorned or insulted because of my faith, but let me take comfort in knowing
that Your Truth will prevail. Help me to
pity those who would do such things and show them the love and compassion of
Christ—since it is not me that they are rejecting, but the One that loved them
enough to die for them.
Grant me both the knowledge and the understanding of Your law—Your instructions to all those You love—so that I would know right from wrong, walk in obedience to all Your commands, and have no reason to fear the scorn and insults of humanity.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
