Prayer To Walk In The Word

Father, in the name of Jesus, I commit myself to walk in the Word.  Your Word living in me produces Your life in this world.  I recognize that Your Word is integrity itself – steadfast, sure, eternal – and I trust my life to its provisions.

 

You have sent Your Word forth into my heart.  I let it dwell in me richly in all wisdom.  I mediate in it day and night so that I may diligently act on it.  The Incorruptible Seed, the Living Word, the Word of Truth, is abiding in my spirit.  That Seed is growing mightily in me now, producing Your nature, Your Life.  It is my counsel, my shield, my powerful weapon in battle.  The Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.  It makes my way plain before me.  I do not stumble, for my steps are ordered in the Word. 

 

The Holy Spirit leads and guides me into all the truth.  He gives me understanding, discernment, and comprehension so that I am preserved from the snares of the evil one. 

 

I delight myself in You and Your Word.  Because of that, You put Your desires within my heart.  I commit my way unto You, and You bring it to pass.  I am confident that You are at work in me now both to will and to do all Your good pleasure.

 

I exalt Your Word, hold it in high esteem, and give it first place.  I make my schedule around Your Word.  I make the Word the final authority to settle all questions that confront me.  I choose to agree with the Word of God, and I choose to disagree with any thoughts, conditions, or circumstances contrary to Your Word.  I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation – the living Word of God!  Amen.
