You have commanded Your precepts to be kept diligently. Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping Your statutes!
Yes, Lord, I understand and accept the command: to obey You as proof of my love for You. But I cannot do this faithfully in my own strength; all I can do is plead for strength and guidance. Steadfastness must come from the Holy Spirit, and Lord, often I fail to pay attention to His gentle nudges.
