Sunday morning I was reading PS 119. While reading it, the Holy Spirit pointed out that this chapter would be a beautiful prayer, using it as a prayer for your family, church, or universal. I read through the chapter again inserting the plural form as I read. The words hit straight to the heart-felt-tug of the situations dealt with on a daily basis. The Word is one way to strengthen your prayer life. The more we read, the Holy Spirit gives us understanding on a personal perspective. We receive supernatural encouragement through the struggles we are facing now. Prayer: Holy Spirit lead me to all discernment and understanding of the Word that I would bring only Glory to the Father.
