Psalm 63:2-9

It has been difficult to find time to write lately, but my schedule should improve soon, and I plan to write on a number of topics in the comings weeks. In the meantime, I want to post a prayer from Psalm 63. I have found this prayer helpful the last few days, and I thought that someone else might find it helpful too.

God, You are my God;

     I search for You,

     my soul thirsts for You,

     my body yearns for You,

     as a parched and thirsty land that has no water.

I shall behold You in the sanctuary,

     and see Your might and glory,

Truly Your faithfulness is better than life;

     My lips declare Your praise.

I bless You all my life; 

     I lift up my hands, invoking Your name.

I am sated as with a rich feast,

     I sing praises with joyful lips

     when I call You to mind upon my bed,

     when I think of You in the watches of the night;

     for You are my help

     and in the shadow of Your wings

     I shout for joy.

My soul is attached to You;

     Your right hand supports me.
