Biblical Prayer Focus
Psalm 119:66-71
Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.  Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.  You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.  The insolent smear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep your precepts; their heart is unfeeling like fat, but I delight in your law.  It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.

Thank the Lord for using affliction as a teaching tool in your life. Even though the afflictions that God allowed were hard, express your confidence that God is good and does good . . . all the time!
