Prayer, Part I, June 21, 2008

O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.
Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
My soul follows close behind You; your right hand upholds me.

Psalms 63:1-8, www.solascriptura.com

Father, from dawn to the moment we go to sleep, and even as we awaken in the middle of the night, we want to be as King David was, the one of whom You said, "He is a man after my own heart", seeking You. Help us not to exclude You from the activities of the day nor to do, say or think things that embarrass us before You as we look back.

Help us O'God to have a continual thirst for Your word in our hearts and minds, knowing that Your supply, though infinite, needs to be refreshed continually. Odd, but true, that we can be spiritually aware one moment and embroiled in sin the next. We know that Satan seeks to bring us down. Keep us in Your Holy hands that we might continually lift our hands in praise to You. In Jesus Holy name, we pray, amen.
