Hey everyone, this is Mary Demuth and this is Pray Every Day where I have the joy and privilege of praying you through the Bible verse by verse on this very final day of April.

I hope it was a really good April for you.

It's been a joy to be able to pray through the Psalms with you.

Right now we're still making our way through a good old long Psalm 119.

And there's so much richness there about the psalmist loving God's word and you know it just

feels like there's been a lot of biblical illiteracy lately we don't know our Bibles we know a lot of

other things but we don't know our Bibles and so maybe today is a day that we dive in to the

Word of God and just cherish it and this listening to pray every day as part of that I commend you for loving the Word of God and just cherish it. And this, um, listening to pray every day

is part of that. I commend you for loving the Word of God and loving to be prayed for. That's

awesome. And I pray it deeply enhances your relationship with God. All right, today I am reading Psalm 119

verses 145 to 176 in the world English Bible, and this is what it says.

Cough.

I have called with my whole heart.

Answer me, Yahweh, I will keep your statutes.

I have called to you, save me.

I will obey your statutes.

I rise before dawn and cry for help.

I put my hope in your words.

My eyes stay open through the night watches

that I might meditate on your word.

Hear my voice according to your loving kindness.

Revive me, Yahweh, according to your ordinances.
