Prayer~
Oh Lord, I love Your name! Your name is praiseworthy and worthy of praise. Thank you for this time to be together in Your Word. I love to spend time with You. Lord, is there anything that keeps me from you? Please reveal it to me now. Lord, I am sorry for my sin. Please forgive me. Please speak to me now through your word I pray, Amen.
Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my meditation. Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
Psalm 5:1~3
But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.
Psalm 5:7~8
But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them. Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
Psalms 5: 11~12
When I first read this passage in psalms 5, I was impressed to discover that God actually is paying attention to me! Really? Could this be true? The God of the Universe is taking notice of me? I found that to really be amazing, that He is actually attentive to me. He's listening to my words, he considers and thinks about my meditations (or groaning). Also, He defends me. He blesses the righteous and surrounds them with favor. If it's in the Word of God, then, I'm going to choose to believe that it is true. For God is a God who doesn't lie. He's speaking words of truth and words of life to me, even right now. He's speaking words of truth and words of life to you too, dear friend, as you read the Word of God. All truth, and all life, is found in words of Jesus. Our hearts are open to the God of life, love and truth.
