Prayer Leads to Prosperity

God Instructs the People of God

God's People Learn from Prosperity:
God Has Expectations

Psalm 119:33-40

The Message
 33-40 God, teach me lessons for living
      so I can stay the course.
   Give me insight so I can do what you tell me—
      my whole life one long, obedient response.
   Guide me down the road of your commandments;
      I love traveling this freeway!
   Give me a bent for your words of wisdom,
      and not for piling up loot.
   Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets,
      invigorate me on the pilgrim way.
   Affirm your promises to me—
      promises made to all who fear you.
   Deflect the harsh words of my critics—
      but what you say is always so good.
   See how hungry I am for your counsel;
      preserve my life through your righteous ways!

For Reflection

Walking hand in hand, side by side with God is realized through prayer and meditations.  Make a copy of this passage and post it where you will see it often.

Pray
the prayer in Psalm119 above at least three times right now.
