Pam's Perambulation

I’m relying on you Lord.

Show me
what you want me to do
and I’ll do it;
help me to understand
what it is you want of me,
that I may do the right thing;
make me want to live your ways
above anything else.

You give me everything I need
to fight the battle,
you save me.

When people say I am stupid
for relying on you,
may I stand strong
and speak truth.

You give me freedom
from needing to follow the crowd,
you alone are my source of joy.

I trust
and follow you.

Psalm 119:33-40  (CEV)

³³ Point out your rules to me,
and I won’t disobey
even one of them.
³⁴ Help me to understand your Law;
I promise to obey it
with all my heart.
³⁵ Direct me by your commands!
I love to do what you say.
³⁶ Make me want to obey you,
rather than to be rich.
³⁷ Take away my foolish desires,
and let me find life
by walking with you.
³⁸ I am your servant!
Do for me what you promised
to those who worship you.
³⁹ Your wonderful teachings
protect me from the insults
that I hate so much.
⁴⁰ I long for your teachings.
Be true to yourself
and let me live.

Teach Me, O Lord
