You Asked for It (6 of 23)
Series: Life by the Book

Psalm 119:33-40
Life By The Book: that's the title of our series from Psalm 119. This entire psalm focuses on the Word of God and it's important that we live our lives and direct our paths according to the Bible. Tonight, we're studying Psalm 119:33-40 and we think about the sermon subject, You Asked for It. READ TEXT - PRAY

If you ask God to give you a new passion for the Word, then He will, you just have to ask for it.

The father sat down on one of the stools at the counter and lifted the boy up to the seat beside him. They ordered lunch, and when the waiter brought the food, the father said, ''Son, we'll just have a silent prayer.'' Dad got through praying first and waited for the boy to finish his prayer, but he just sat with his head bowed for an unusually long time. When he finally looked up, his father asked him, ''Wh ...
