LORD, I NEED YOU!
LORD, I NEED YOU!
Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. —Psalm 86:1
For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. —Psalm 86:10
Truly, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you” (Psalm 73:25). “For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.” I am truly “poor and needy.” Yet You have said that—
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” —Hebrews 4:15-16
I thank You, Lord Jesus, that You are able to empathize with my weaknesses. You understand my temptations as You also had “been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.” Oh, how I’d like to say that I have not sinned and I do look forward to that day when I will never sin again when I am with You in glory. Yes, truly, “And earth has nothing I desire besides you.”
But here I am, “poor and needy.” I am so glad that we can “approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” I am truly needy and I come before Your throne to receive that mercy and grace. Oh, may I be at Your throne often and regularly because I need Your help. I can do nothing on my own and I do not want to do anything on my own. My desire is to do Your will. Yes, that is my desire. Yes, “For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.” And I come to You and trust that You will work out the work that You desire to work out in and through me. That is the only hope that I gave and Dear Father, may I be faithful in Your work by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. Yes, so may it be and all for Your honor and glory… forever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rR_Rdb1CTE
