“Turn away my reproach which I dread, for Your ordinances are good. Behold,
I long for Your precepts; revive me through Your righteousness.” (Psalm
119:39-40)

In our heart and soul, we know
right from wrong. Either we increase the desire for all that is wrong, or else
we walk the narrow path that seeks to learn to live righteously always. Long
for the goodness of the Lord and seek His way while it may be found. Life comes
from the Lord. Walk in the way of life. Walk in the way of the Lord. Seek His
righteousness and all else that is needed will be added.

Lord, You know all of the things that get in the way of my walking humbly with You. Lead me, O Lord, in the way of truth that I may pursue righteousness all the days of my life. Let not the cares of this world overcome me, but lift me up by Your grace that I may now and always walk in the way of truth. You alone know all that is needed. Keep me on the humble path of being Your servant.

Lord Jesus, You are the model of
the godly life. Help me to walk with You and follow Your lead. Where I am
wrong, correct me. Where I am weak, strengthen me. Where I am unable, lift me
up to do what You give me to do. In all things, help me learn to praise you in
all circumstances. You are the author and finisher of my faith. Write another
chapter in me this day, I pray. Amen.
