Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.--Psalm 27:7-10
Father,
You hear my voice!! You hear MY cry!! It comes before your ears. In your mercy, Father, please answer me. You are my King and my God...I come to You for help...no one else...just You. Have mercy on me Father for I am weak. Have mercy on me because I am trusting in You. Have mercy on me not because I am anything, but because You are faithful, just, righteous and true.
Lord, You said to seek Your face...you do not speak in vain...you mean what you say! Here I am! Answer me quickly! I am calling upon You, Be near to me. My desire is for You and for You alone....I want only what you want for me. Do not hide your face from me or turn away from me in anger. Do not cast me away from your presence nor take your Holy Spirit from me. For you are my hope, Lord God.
"O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary."
Thank you Father that you are the same yesterday, today and forever. Thank you that you never leave me nor forsake me. Thank you that you are my guide even unto death. Thank you that you do make haste to help me and do not leave me in the hands of my enemies. Help me to serve you Lord with a perfect heart and a willing mind knowing that as I seek You, You will draw nigh unto me. How good it is Father that I can boldly say, "the Lord is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
