the law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. [ps 119:72]

 

o LORD,

i often forget that the law, the words of your mouth – are your words.

i often forget that the words of your mouth – come from your mouth!

i often forget that the words of your mouth – come from your heart and reveal your holy and beautiful character.

 

o LORD,

change my tastes to delight in your words.

change my tastes to long for your words.

change my tastes to be the greatest treasure of my heart.

 

o LORD,

today, may the words of your mouth be the meditation of my heart

and may what pleases you be my treasure.

yes LORD make it so!

in Jesus name, amen!
