Spiritual Structure: A Word for Prayer

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength (Rock) and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

If you have ever watched a house or building under construction, you know it is built one day at a time. The finished structure always represents the sum total of daily progress.

The same is true for building a spiritual life. What should we pray every day that will allow us to build a fruitful spiritual structure? In Psalm 19:14, the psalmist prayed for two things: what he said and what he thought about. He prayed that both his words and his thoughts would be acceptable in God’s sight. Could there be a simpler, yet more profound, prayer to pray every day? Think about how much time we spend talking and thinking each day. Our words and our thoughts are like bricks being added to a building. Over time, our life will reflect what we have thought about and talked about.

Consider memorizing Psalm 19:14 and making it a personal prayer at the beginning of each day. Ask God to help you build a spiritual life that is pleasing to Him.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

Did that help you memorize or even try to…? May our thoughts and words be acceptable to God and a blessing to all who hear our words and see our actions.
