Perfect and Trustworthy





The instructions of the LORD are perfect,
    reviving the soul.
The decrees of the L
ORD are trustworthy,
    making wise the simple.

— Psalm 19:7 (NLT)



Dear LORD,

Thank You for giving me Your Word—the perfect instruction manual for my life!  For Your Word brings new life to my soul and shows me how even a simple man, like me, can become wise.

Thank You, that Your instructions are perfect and pure—not corrupted in any way—full of only that which is good for me, and designed to equip me in every way, to every good work that You have planned for me.

Thank You, that Your instructions revive and refresh my mind, will, and emotions, with new strength—strength to obey Your Word—so that I can walk in that close, personal relationship with You which brings me life.

Thank You, that Your decrees are trustworthy—that Your words represent You holy will and go forth in Your power.  They endure throughout all the generations of man and beyond, and they fulfill their purpose, as I honor them with my life.

Thank You, that as simple-minded as I am, through Your words, You cause me to grow in understanding and judgment, give me insight into Your ways, and even grant me revelation of things that are yet to come.  Your words make me wise.

Thank You for giving me Your Word—the perfect instruction manual for my life!  For Your Word brings new life to my soul and shows me how even a simple man, like me, can become wise.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
