One thing to do
Read one chapter a day this week and write one sentence about what the text actually says before saying what it means to you.
Pray this passage
Lord, this psalm says your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I want to understand it and not only read it. Open my understanding, keep me from twisting it to suit myself, and make me willing to do what I see.
Or pray in your own words
- Ask him to open your understanding of one passage.
- Ask for a love for his word, as verse 97 speaks of.
