How I wish I could be more faithful in obeying your laws!
God, create a pure heart in me, and make my spirit strong again.
We pray that the Lord will cause you to feel God’s love and remember Christ’s patient endurance.
“In the future I will make this agreement with the people of Israel.” This message is from the Lord. “I will put my teachings in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Give me the desire to follow your rules, not the desire to get rich.
I do my best to follow your commands, because you are the one who gives me the desire.
I have chosen to follow your instructions, so reach out and help me!
See how much I love your instructions! Lord, I know your love is true, so let me live.
My desire to hear your commands is so strong that I wait with open mouth, gasping for breath.
