Have someone read aloud:

Isaiah 55:8-9

R-33: THE BIBLE 聖經

Psalm 119:9-11, 18, 129-130; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2:15; 2 Peter 1:21; Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV)


How can a young man cleanse his way?

By taking heed according to Your word.

With my whole heart I have sought You;

Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!

Your word I have hidden in my heart,

That I might not sin against You.


Open my eyes, that I may see

Wondrous things from Your law.


Your testimonies are wonderful;

Therefore my soul keeps them.

The entrance of Your words gives light;

It gives understanding to the simple.


All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.


Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.


...for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.


For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Lyrics - I Surrender All

Worship through Prayer

  1. Your Word is truth and life. Help me know, believe and faithfully obey the Bible. Ignorance and unbelief of Your Word makes me gullible and prone to sin. Help me continue to grow in the knowledge of Your Word.

  2. Lord, help me fix my eyes on You and not on the challenges and troubles before me. You will see me through. Give me strength to endure the trials till the end. May I continue to experience Your faithfulness in my life and praise Your Name.

  3. Lord, being holy is crucial for us to uphold Your Name. Many Christians have lived a sinful life. Some have attempted to hide their sinful state. If any of us have become blinded by sin, bring us to the light where it may be revealed. Help the sinning brother or sister repent and return to holy living. Glorify Yourself by keeping us holy and pure.

  4. Set eternity in my heart. Let me desire more of what would have everlasting value. May the plans and decisions that I make show forth that I live by faith anticipating the fulfillment of all Your promises for me in this life and beyond.
