Psalm 119 is a psalm of prayers. I am taking this Psalm verse by verse and leading in a daily prayer. I invite you to follow along each day and let the Word of God guide you in your daily prayers.

Vs. 38 — Establish Your word to Your servant, Who is devoted to fearing You.

John Calvin prayed:

Grant, Almighty God, that inasmuch as we are so disposed and inclined to all kinds of errors, to so many and so various forms of superstitions, and as Satan also does not cease to lay in wait for us, and spreads before us his many snares—O grant that we may be so preserved in obedience to you by the teaching of your Word, that we may never turn here and there, either to the right or to the left, but continue in that pure worship which you have prescribed, so that we may plainly testify that you are indeed our Father by continuing under the protection of your only begotten Son, whom you have given to be our pastor and ruler to the end. Amen. (Ritzema, E. (Ed.). (2012). 400 Prayers for Preachers. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press.)

Prayer:

Father, establish Your word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You. Cause Your truth be anchored in Your Church, who is Your servant. You have sanctified, that is separated us, from the world to Yourself by the truth. Continue to make Your word fresh to our hearts; manna to our lives; and hope so that we will persevere to the end. May Your word also keep us in humble and holy fear. Amen.
