With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD! I will keep Your statutes. I call to You; save me, that I may observe Your testimonies. I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in Your words. My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate on Your promise.

"With my whole heart I cry" Oh, that it would be so, Lord. I know that there are pockets of resistance, of self, in my heart. You have said that my heart is wick above all else and it is so. Those cancers need to be rooted out. The process of enabling me to walk in Your statutes, to observe Your testimonies in all of my life, needs to continue.

Oh what joy it is when I do remember to consider Your promises during the night. Lord, lead me from grumbling that I am awake to a praising of You because of another opportunity to consider the richnesses of Your Word.
