Prayer for Today

"Teach me, O LORD, the way of your
          statutes;
     and I will keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may keep
          your law
     and observe it with my whole heart.
Lead me in the path of your
          commandments,
     for I delight in it.
Incline my heart to your testimonies,
     and not to selfish gain!
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless
          things;
     and give me life in your ways.
Confirm to your servant your promise,
     that you may be feared.
Turn away the reproach that I dread,
     for your rules are good.
Behold, I long for your precepts;
     in your righteousness give me life!"

- Psalm 119:33-40
