A Prayer For The Morning

Feb 23, 2022

God loves it when we pray His Words back to Him. Let’s start with these words from King David, about which C. S. Lewis said: “I take this to be the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world.”

“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

Who can discern his errors?
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
Keep back your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer
.” Psalm 19:7-14 ESV

Selah
