Undivided Heart's Desire...

One thing I have desired of the LORD,
         That will I seek:
         That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
         All the days of my life,
         To behold the beauty of the LORD,
         And to inquire in His temple.

Father,

Let this be my desire.  Let all my desires and affections be bound up in this one desire...to seek you that I may live always in nearness to you.  To behold your beauty and to inquire of You.  Let my life, O Lord, be all about You.  Let all I do and all I say glorify Your precious name.

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.--Psalm 57:7

I want to seek You Lord with my whole heart...to set my face unto you in prayer and supplication...to seek your kingdom first always.  Help me Father to pray..to do good and not grow weary.  Let my strength be in You and let me be satisfied with the goodness of Your house and the overwhelming awesomeness of Your presence. Allow me to behold your beauty and to search out the many deep and wonderful truths in Your word.  Be my sun and shield...
