Yes

"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and His rule." Matt. 5:3 Mess.

Psalm 119:9-16

9-16 How can a young person live a clean life? 
      By carefully reading the map of your Word. 
   I'm single-minded in pursuit of you; 
      don't let me miss the road signs you've posted. 
   I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart 
      so I won't sin myself bankrupt. 
   Be blessed, 
God
      train me in your ways of wise living. 
   I'll transfer to my lips 
      all the counsel that comes from your mouth; 
   I delight far more in what you tell me about living 
      than in gathering a pile of riches. 
   I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you, 
      I attentively watch how you've done it. 
   I relish everything you've told me of life, 
      I won't forget a word of it.

9 How can a young man keep his way pure? 
       By living according to your word.

 10 I seek you with all my heart; 
       do not let me stray from your commands.

 11 I have hidden your word in my heart 
       that I might not sin against you.

 12 Praise be to you, O LORD; 
       teach me your decrees.

 13 With my lips I recount 
       all the laws that come from your mouth.

 14 I rejoice in following your statutes 
       as one rejoices in great riches.

 15 I meditate on your precepts 
       and consider your ways.

 16 I delight in your decrees; 
       I will not neglect your word.
