Daily Prayer - Turn my eyes away from worthless things

Good Monday morning, my friends.
 
On Friday we prayed part of Psalm 119, a Psalm that speaks of the love of God's word.  Jesus said "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).  Let me share with you today another snippet from Psalm 119.  Ask God to feed you from His word today, and to help you turn away from worthless things.
 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
 
 
 
Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,
    that I may follow it to the end.
 
Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law
    and obey it with all my heart.
 
Direct me in the path of your commands,
    for there I find delight.
 
 Turn my heart toward your statutes
    and not toward selfish gain.
 
 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
    preserve my life according to your word.
 
 Fulfill your promise to your servant,
    so that you may be feared.
 
 Take away the disgrace I dread,
    for your laws are good.
 
 How I long for your precepts!
    In your righteousness preserve my life.
 
Psalm 119:33-40
