A Scripture and a Prayer: “God’s Word is Good”
“Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word.” (Psalm 119:67)
Prayer:
Lord, it’s Your word that keeps me from stumbling and falling as I walk through this life, especially through the trial and tribulations that come my way. Prior to my becoming a follower of You through faith in Jesus Christ, I not only had a lot, but I also suffered physically, emotionally, and spiritually because of my sin. Therefore, I thank you for Your wonderful grace and mercy that You extended my direction, and I especially thank you for Your word, for it revealed my sins and showed me the way out through confession and repentance. Help me, therefore, Lord to continue to plumb the depths of Your word, so that I can continue to confront all that is not pleasing in Your sight. And this I ask in Jesus’s name, AMEN
