The LORD is my portion; I promise to keep your words. I entreat your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise. When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies; I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments. Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law. At midnight I rise to praise you, because of your righteous rules. I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts. The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes!
Lord, I can promise to keep Your Word but it is an empty promise without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I, a sinful man, am weak and easily dissuaded from the path of righteousness, peace and joy. But in the strength that You provide, I am an ambassador of reconciliation for the Kingdom of Heaven. Keep me in Your Word, dwelling in Your Precepts and living Your Testimonies.
