~A prayer written in my journal.
One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. -Psalm 27:4 NIV
Father God, I pray you would touch my heart
Awaken my heart
Warm my heart
Revive my heart
Stir up my hunger, arouse my thirst, and cause me to go deeper
Oh Jesus, I want to know you more
Let my heart be eternally connected to you
Make me a woman after your own heart
Usher me to abide with you more closely
Let me taste from the banquet of your love
Lead me through the rooms of your affections, thoughts, desires, and emotions
Lead me to the dining room of communion
Be like a warm hearth… a delightful fireplace, fragrant with sweet spices on a cold winter’s night
Be to me an inner heat
Be the air in my lungs
Revive me
Stir me with Your passions
Awaken me, Lover King
Touch me afresh and cause every cell and fiber of my being to adore you
Kiss the deepest place within me… the place of eternity, and let my inner being praise you
Warm my heart with your love
Defrost the slick glass of fear over my heart
Massage my soul, soak my heart with Your intimacy
I want you deeply, Abba
Cover me with your Holy Spirit
Show me what it means to be a beloved of the King of kings and Lord of lords
Reveal yourself to me as the Holy Bridegroom
Unite my heart solely to worship you
Let me gaze upon the sweet attractiveness of your face
This is the one thing that I ask for
This alone shall I seek
After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ -Acts 13:22 NIV
