Scripture:
Psalm 70:3
3 Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
Observation:
David is being open and honest with God who. Seek him. But also he is being honest and upfront with his response. I can learn so much not only about about the response (prayer) but the content of the response.
Application:
I just got done watching “War Room” which is a movie on prayer. What better way to follow yo the film with reading a man that prayed like no other. What I love and need to preach to myself daily is, i continually come to the God who loves me. He doesn’t get tired yet he welcomes me. He welcomes my mess, my doubt, my hurt, my attitude, and all that keeps me from coming. As a father there is one thing I pray, that my son comes to me for and about everything. This is so true of the Father in heaven!! He is my strength and David though knows this truth he seems to CONSTANTLY verbalize it.
A couple things:
-Pray without seizing
-Let nothing hinder me from coming to God!
-Help others realize this truth
Prayer:
Father, forgive me for distancing myself. You love me and your good. Help me to bring all of me to your throne and trust that all of you will make me whole. I pray I come continuously and that I trust in your grace for forgiveness and strength to make it to the next breath. Thank you father for loving me and I pray I love you in return to the same extent.
