“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.” (Psalm
119:25-27)

Walking in this world is walking
with death all around us. This world is already condemned; but the Savior came
not to condemn the world, but that there may be life. The Lord offers
understanding to those who come to Him. He will lift up the countenance of
those who trust Him. Come to the Lord and lean not on your own understanding but
see that He is Good and merciful.

Lord, I want to cling to You but my hands are weak and I lose my grip. You
have promised to hold onto me. Never let me go for I need You to be the One who
holds on. What I desire is from weak flesh, but what You promise is from
eternity. Guide me, O Lord, in the way of truth that I would be held in Your
presence now and forever. Teach me to meditate upon Your wonders.

Lord Jesus, You have come because
You know we need You to save us. A Savior would not have come if we did not
need to be saved. Lead me, O Lord, in the way You know I need to go. Guide me
according to Your grace and mercy that I would now and always walk in the way
You have established. Help me to learn to meditate upon Your goodness and the
wonders You have created. Amen.
