My soul cleaves to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. I have told of my ways, and You have answered me; Teach me Your statutes. Make me understand the way of Your precepts, So I will meditate on Your wonders. My soul weeps because of grief; Strengthen me according to Your word. Remove the false way from me, And graciously grant me Your law. I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your ordinances before me. I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame! I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will enlarge my heart. Psalms 119:25-32 NASB
GOD, we Thank You for Your love and kindness! Help us to be honest in our communion with You. Help us understand beyond all doubt and reason, YOU ARE THE ROCK on which our position and paths are to be placed. I pray we allow You to steady us and move us with You along the path of righteousness and holiness. For every single person studying Your word, empower them by Holy Spirit to be courageous in uncovering answers to the questions You are compelling us to ask. In Jeremiah 17:10, You say You search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve. Search us Lord, help us to be vulnerable with You, removing any facades we may have been hiding behind, any appearances of being where we really aren’t. You love us and You desire for us to have Your song placed within us. Prune the places that are not of You, and allow Your song to grow within our soul. Yes Lord! thank You for gathering us together, forgive us for believing the plans we make outside of Your will are the best for Your people, yes Holy Spirit, I'm sorry, I repent of the times this week I chose my own responses over Yours, we repent, we love You, come dwell with us, fill these places where we are gathered together even while physically apart, we pray for understanding Your revealed word as You bring us into a new place of wisdom. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the glorious name of Jesus Christ, amen!
