Thoughts for another day

Sept. 8, 2009

Today's verse: Ps. 71:12. O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

My Father, you are my portion and my cup. You are the fortitude of my being. Even as you reign over the universe and over every created thing Lord, be praised to the Highest and be clothed with glory and splendor. Lord, God of Hosts, Thou which art awesome and fearsome let Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done on earth exactly as it is in heaven.

Oh Lord of hosts, great and mighty God who walks on the wings of the wind and treads the clouds in the heavens; at whose approach mountains melts and the seas run for cover, O Living God, glorify Thyself as unto the covering of the waters over the seas and let the whole universe be filled with Thy glory. Let every gigantic thing and even the smallest recognize Thy sovereignty over the universe, for none has been, but by Thee.

Lord God who smites the wicked and saves the righteous, look upon Thy servant covered with the righteousness of Thy Lamb. I am but dust; stray vapor in the morning which is not, as the sun comes out. In the abundance of Thy mercy O Father, create in me a new heart, and restore a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence, nor let Thy wrath extinguish me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation so that my cup brims over and my head is anointed by the oil of gladness as was Aaron’s. Oh Lord God, be Thou a shield to me and those who I deem as mine. Help me walk in Thy ways setting my face like flint, looking only upon Thee and none else. Thy Majesty, stay not far from me my LORD, but hasten to send Thy help; for my heart cries unto Thee my God and my being craves for Thee in this tribulation I bear and no solace comes my way. Dear Father, I remember Thy mercies of old and I pray to Thee for victory. I wait so that soon in the gladness of my heart I will sing unto Thy Name and proclaim Thy glory in the assembly of the nations of the earth. So LORD my Lord, come, refresh Thy servant and let me live in Thy favor, Amen.
