Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts.
3They do not compromise with evil,
and they walk only in his paths.

I used to wander off until you disciplined me;
but now I closely follow your word.

Thank you Lord for loving me so much that you did not give me all my heart desired. Thank you for making this life hard so I would grow stronger and seek you with more desire. Protect me from the distructive path and help me to join you in all my ways.

In Jesus name,
Amen
