In Your Words I Find My Strength and Hope


When I discovered your words, I devoured them.
    They are my joy and my heart’s delight,
for I bear your name,
    O L
ORD God of Heaven’s Armies.

—Jeremiah 15:16 (NLT)


Dear LORD,


Keep me hungry—eager to receive and ready to apply every word that You would speak into my life.  Let my joy and my heart’s delight be in discovering the Truth that is found in Your Word, which is revealed by Your Spirit and proven through my personal experience of relationship with You.


Continue to speak to me through Your Holy Spirit, and by that same Spirit reveal and illuminate the words of the Bible to my spirit—that I might devour the fresh Truth that You have waiting there for me to discover.

Use that Truth to help me grow in obedience and faithfulness to You, so that I can live my life submitted to Truth and can become all that You have planned for me to be in Christ—for Your own glory and honor and praise.

For it is in Your words that I find my strength and hope!  And in them I discover the responsibilities of obedience that I carry, because I have been chosen—and I have chosen—to bear Your name, O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies!


Keep me hungry—eager to receive and ready to apply every word that You would speak into my life.  Let my joy and my heart’s delight be in discovering the Truth that is found in Your Word, which is revealed by Your Spirit and proven through my personal experience of relationship with You.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
