The commandments of the LORD are right,bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are clear,
giving insight for living.
—Psalm 19:8 (NLT)
Loving LORD,
Grant me the hunger to know, and the desire to obey, the commandments of Your Word—so my heart may be full of joy, and my mind would be filled with insight for how I should live.
Help me to understand that Your commands are exactly right—that they flow from Your Truth and are written for my good, and for Your glory.
Help me to understand that, as I obediently follow them, I not only demonstrate my love for You, but my heart is also filled with joy—as protection, provision and peace flood my life in proportion to that obedience.
Help me to understand that Your commands are perfectly clear—that they are pure, clean, that there is no darkness in them at all, and they are clearly understood.
Help me to understand that Your commands allow me to see with certainty the best paths for me to follow—as You guide me by Your Spirit on my journey through this life on my way home to You.
Grant me the hunger to know, and the desire to obey, the commandments of Your Word—so my heart may be full of joy, and my mind would be filled with insight for how I should live.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
