73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74 Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
75 I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.
77 Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed,
For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.
79 Let those who fear You turn to me,
Those who know Your testimonies.
80 Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed.—Psalm 119:73-80
Father…Your hands have made me! You know everything about me! You are my light and my salvation…the Author and the finisher of my faith. To You and to You alone will I pray…Give me understanding. Teach me Your statutes and show me Your paths.
Thank you for the believers You have providentially placed in my life to encourage, strengthen and surround me. Oh, Father…May they be glad and heartened when they see me because I have hoped in Your word.
Help me and sustain me through the trials of this life knowing that You are my faithful Creator and it is in faithfulness that You have afflicted me. May Your word be my comfort. Thank you that You Father are good and do good. Thank you that when Your waves and billows go over me, You will command Your lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night Your song shall be with me. Be my strong refuge, to which I may resort continually.
❤️As a father pities his children,
So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.❤️
No matter my circumstances, may Your precious word be my hope and my meditation both day and night. May my prayers to You be prayed with understanding and in accordance with Your will.
Surround me with Your beloved ones who also love Your law. Give me a clear conscience and a blameless heart as I make You word my delight.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.—Psalm 139:23-24
Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah—Psalm 62:8
