psalms...

i kinda took some lines from psalms 119 and made it into my own little prayer. God says that His word will never return to Him void, and we know that His word is His will...so praying the bible is the MOST effective way to do it...

joyful are those with integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
joyful are those who obey His laws
and search for Him with all their hearts...

i have hidden your word in my heart,
that i may not sin against you...

open my eyes to see
the wonderful truths
in your instructions...
revive me by Your word.

i will run the course of Your
commandments for i know
they will enlarge my heart...

give me understanding
and i will obey your instructions
i will preactice them with
all my heart...

this is where my happiness is found.

life is in Your word.

i will walk in freedom
for i have devoted myself to your commandments.
though evil tries to drag me away,
i am firmly anchored in Your instructions...

teach me good judgement and knowledge.
You discipline me because i need it.
Your instructions are my delight...

Your faithfulness extends to every generation,
as enduring as the earth You created.
i wil never forget Your commandments for
by them
You give me life.

even perfections has limits,
but Your commands have NO limit...

How sweet Your words taste to me;
they are sweeter than honey.

i hate divided loyalties.
You alone are my refuge.
Your word is my source and my hope.

Lord, sustain me as You promise,
that i may LIVE.
sustain me and i will be rescued...

i tremble in fear of You.
i stand in awe of all that You are.

i am Your servant.

see how i LOVE Your commands,
the very essence of Your word is TRUTH.
it will stand FOREVER.

my heart trembles only at Your word.
i have wandered away like a lost sheep,
You have come and found me.

let praise flow from my lips
let my tongue sing about Your word,
for Your love is FAITHFUL
and Your word is TRUTH...
