My King and My God....

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;  So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.--Psalm 45:10-11

Father,

I am here....Your daughter is listening.  Help me by Your grace to put aside those weights, snares and distractions that cloud my vision and keep me from Your love and Your purposes for me.   I want to desire only You and what You want for me.  I want to cease to care about my circumstances.  They change daily and You are in them all.  Father, I do not want to be irresponsible in this or unloving ...I want to face them all in a way that knows and understands that You, my Lord, are sovereign...that You truly have it all under control.  My job is just to hear and obey...help me to leave the results in Your hands of love.

You are calling me to arise and come away.  The winter is over...my time of weeping is done.  The birds sing and the flowers bloom.  My joy in You is full.  My soul takes delight in You, my God.  All Your ways are pleasant and Your paths peace.  Your wisdom is peaceable and pure, gentle, willing to yield.  It is full of mercy and good fruits and is without partiality or hypocrisy.  You have lifted my burden.  I have taken Your yoke which is easy and Your burden which is light.  Your Son, Jesus, is my teacher....I learn from Him.  He is meek and lowly in heart....in Him , my soul finds rest.

You my King, my Lord and my God, greatly desires my beauty.  A gentle and quiet spirit is of great worth in Your sight.   As I look to You I am transformed into Your image...from glory to glory, by Your Spirit.  I become radiant and shine from the inside out.  The light of Your countenance upon me makes me beautiful.  You love me with a jealous love.  You desire only my good.  You rejoice over me as bridegroom rejoices over his bride.  You, my Lord and my God, are in my midst...I will rest in Your love and glory in Your presence.  You will rejoice over me with singing and quiet me with Your love.

Your throne, O God is forever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your Kingdom.  You are my Maker....You, Lord, are my husband.  You have called me out of the darkness and into Your marvelous light.  You called me when I was in despair...grieved, forsaken, and in much trouble.  You gathered me to yourself with great mercies and in Your everlasting kindness have redeemed me and made me Your precious daughter.

I will worship you my God.  I will kneel before the Lord, my Maker.  I will give you all the praise glory and honor.  Without You, I would have perished in the way.  You have clothed me in Your righteousness and covered me with Your love. You are the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David....You are God over all.  You alone have prevailed to open the scroll, the title deed to the earth, and loose its seven seals. Your kingdom is forever.  Blessed are all those who put their trust in You.
