Thy Word

SCRIPTURE

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
and a light for my path.


PRAYER

Lord, when the complications of life begin to swirl around ______, and the fog of her own heart drifts in, and bitter wind of other people’s opinions whips up, she feels confused. She begins to doubt. She gropes through the darkness, and wonders where the path is, and what obstacles might be in her future. She knows you know, Lord. But she needs to know, from you. It is in those moments that I pray she turns to you and your word, Lord. I ask that she would linger long in your word, and not just the surface truth. I pray that she would ponder, dig, meditate, and explore your word for herself. Never allow her to settle for the status quo just because it is the standard line. Press her Lord, to study your word and make it her own. Sift her decisions, perspectives and actions through the truth of your word, and light her path Lord. I pray that illumination would be the order of the day, and that you would light the path before her, today next week, and in the months and years to come. Amen.


ENCOURAGEMENT

His word has everything you need ______. Feast on in and follow the path it lights. And remember, it’s God’s word, so you need not be concerned about what everyone else thinks, just what he thinks. Walk the path he lights before you, in obedience and faith.
