Many of the Psalms are actually prayers or songs written to God. In this verse, the author, King David, is asking God to help him understand God’s Word so that he can better obey what the Bible says. This simple prayer written thousands of years ago is one we can use for ourselves today. It’s one that we can use every time we go to the Bible. So, give it a try this week! Before you sit down to read your Bible, pray this prayer. Ask God to give you understanding so that you may follow His leading for your life. Then write down some of the understanding He gives you as you read. Keep track of what you’re learning in the Bible as you pray this prayer.
