Evaluation of Desperate Dependency - Beth

As you read through this Psalm, mark the verses that currently and consistently (more often than not) describe you. We have also created a personalization of each verse so that you can more easily determine an accurate assessment. Since Psalm 119 (NLT) is composed of 176 verses we will post this in stages-one section each week. Take your time, and allow God to use this exercise to draw you closer to Himself.
