A Scripture and a Prayer: “Hiding God’s Word Within”

“Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You!” (Psalm 119:11)

Prayer:

Thank you, Lord, for giving to us Your word and through the Holy Spirit teaching us what we need to know to live this life for You. Your word is truly medicine to heal the sickness of our souls and spirits, and how it helps in our fight against Satan and the forces of evil. Your word is also a light to guide us through the darkness of this world. Thank you, therefore, for giving to us Your word to nourish and protect us. And when we’re tempted, thank you for giving us Your word to keep us from acting upon that temptation and sinning against You. So, help us hide Your life-giving word in our hearts that we can effectively live for You. And I ask this in Jesus’s precious name. AMEN
