As I study Psalm 119, I’m drawn to verse 17 and this request: Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. I think about the need to experience God’s goodness and bounty in order to continue living obediently to God. As I read this verse, I think of someone saying to God, “Please make this a little easier for me! Please make it feel good to live and follow you!”
It’s not a bad prayer. It’s OK to ask God for the ability to see how He is “dealing bountifully” with you in order to sustain your walk with Him.
