Life According to Your Word

Psalm 119:25-32 (MSG) 
  I'm feeling terrible—I couldn't feel worse! Get me on my feet again.

You promised, remember?

My heart turns to you, God and I cry out that I need help once again. I am in trouble, the rent is due, I can't find a job, and the diagnosis is terminal.

   When I told my story, you responded; train me well in your deep wisdom.

I told you my troubles, I explained my situation to you even though I knew you already were aware of my pain.  You promised me you would listen and so I tell you every day about my life; praying for Your intercession.

   Help me understand these things inside and out 

so I can ponder your miracle-wonders.

You have said that I only need to pray for wisdom, for the Holy Spirit to come and He will be there to give me knowledge and discernment. The Bible is not a book of rules - of does and don'ts, but a road map to Your arms.

 My sad life's dilapidated, a falling-down barn; build me up again by your Word.

I will cling to your Word, call upon it in times of despair and I will find peace. You promised that to me God and I am calling in that promise. 

   Barricade the road that goes nowhere; grace me with your clear revelation.

Use your Word to fill me up. Your word is a lamp that lights the way and shines on the paths I must take to find help. 

 I choose the true road to Somewhere,

I post your road signs at every curve and corner.

Praise You God! When I learn your way, when I am conscience of right and wrong and choose wisely I am not stopped by guilt or shame. The road to you is a direct path to joy.

   I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me; GOD, don't let me down!

I am hanging on your every Word God; fill me up.

   I'll run the course you lay out for me if you'll just show me how.

Just show me Your will for my life and I will live it.
