Shalom,

We know that Psalm 119 is all about the Word of God, all 176 verses! Psalm 19 also has some verses that are all about the Word! Look at verses 7-11:

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes. The [reverent] fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, even than much fine gold; they are sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb. 11 Moreover, by them is Your servant warned (reminded, illuminated, and instructed); and in keeping them there is great reward.

The Word of God is the most precious and powerful gift we have been given after the gift of our eternal salvation! The verses above tell us that it is through the Word of God that we receive restoration, wisdom, joy, enlightenment, illumination, instruction and everything and anything else we may need! Verse 14 says this:

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.

How are the words of our mouth made acceptable to Him? By being in line with HIS Word! Why do we want to have them acceptable to Him? Look at 1 John 5:14-15:

14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him. AMP

He has revealed His will to us through His Word! Knowing His Word, and causing our mouth to speak only His Word, will have us in position to receive the requests we make of Him! How do you get your prayers answered? You must get him to HEAR you! How do you get Him to hear you? Make sure that what you are asking is in line with His will, His Word, and He WILL hear you , and you WILL have it! Pretty simple, isn't it! Make the necessary adjustments and you can have every prayer answered with a YES! Amen! Here are some pictures to encourage you!






Shalom in Him!
