Take today’s next step: Pray God’s promises.
“Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees.” (Psalm 119:12)
Reading Psalm 119 made me stop and consider the things I ask of God. I request safety for my children, success for my plans, health for my friends. These are not bad things, but the psalmists asks for very different things: he set his heart on knowing God through His word.
Over the last month, I made it a daily practice to ask God for the same things as the author of Psalm 119. Because these requests come straight from God’s word, I know I am praying according to God’s will.
Please join me in praying to the Lord in agreement with Psalm 119:
