Saturday, May 13, 2023 - TEACH ME AND LEAD ME

 

"I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen." (Luther's Morning Prayer

Saturday, May 13, 2023 - Day 133 - (Today’s Bible readings: Zephaniah 2:1-7; Psalm 119:33-40; Luke 22:31-38)

TEACH ME AND LEAD ME

Please read slowly and let the following Biblical truths sink in!

33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes;

    and I will keep it to the end.

34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law

    and observe it with my whole heart.

35 Lead me in the path of your commandments,

    for I delight in it.

36 Incline my heart to your testimonies,

    and not to selfish gain!

37 Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;

    and give me life in your ways.

38 Confirm to your servant your promise,

    that you may be feared.

39 Turn away the reproach that I dread,

    for your rules are good.

40 Behold, I long for your precepts;

    in your righteousness give me life! (Psalm 119:33-38)

Lord, teach me to turn my eyes from worthless things to the timeless truth You have for me in Jesus my Savior. Amen.
