Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified!”
But I am poor and needy;
Make haste to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O LORD, do not delay—Ps 70:4-5
Could any words be more perfect a prayer? Oh, Father! Let this be the cry of my own heart as I seek You day by day...moment by moment. I WILL rejoice and be glad in You. You are my praise...in You my heart can be glad all the day long. You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You. Be magnified in my life...be magnified in the salvation of Your people.
Father, Your Word tells me that You will not despise the broken and contrite heart. Here I am...poor and needy and so insufficient for the trials of this life. In Your infinite mercy, then, make haste to help me. Surround me with Your all sufficient grace and fill me with good things. In You O Lord, I put my trust. You are my Deliverer! Oh, Lord, do not delay! Let my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your glory all the day.
