Episode 98: Why Should I Meditate on Scripture? - A Nighttime Prayer - Daybreak Devotions and Nighttime Prayers

“My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word.” — Psalm 119:148

Almighty Father, I’m so grateful that Your word isn’t simply an ancient book filled with recorded history, letters, poems, and songs, but it lives and breathes through Your divinely inspired words, which are active and powerful (Heb. 4:12), providing a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105) and transforming me day by day (2 Cor. 4:16). I thank you that even on a sleepless night, I can meditate on Your word and be comforted by Your perfect peace, Your faithful presence, and Your transforming truth. I desire to spend more time contemplating all that Your word teaches me about who You are, who You say I am, and how I can now live because I am a new creation in Christ. Help me set aside focused time to meditate on Your word and allow the Holy Spirit to give me a deeper understanding and wisdom to apply to my daily life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
