From Psalm 19:7-8

The Word of the Lord is:

Perfect, sure,

Right and pure;

Converting the soul,

Making the wise,

Rejoicing the heart,

Enlightening the eyes.

God is faithful to answer His own word and the Christian who has been trained by the constant use of Scripture in prayer recognizes the sure voice of right wisdom, pure joy, and perfect illumination. There are times in our conscious prayer life when our own words are not enough; when our soul language demands an expression beyond our ability to communicate.  To some, a tongue has been given; to all, the Word of God has been given.  No dictionary, thesaurus, or language degree can answer the deep call of the soul’s need to communicate with God in soul-speak.  The Word of God is the calling card for such speech and is the hallmark of faith-filled prayer.
