Psalm 116: 1-2
I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
I love You, Lord,
And I lift my voice
To worship You,
O my soul rejoice!
Take joy, my King,
In what You hear,
May it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear!
When I read this Psalm, I was reminded of this old song. [If someone knows who gets the credits for this song, I would appreciate that knowledge.]
O my Father, You are such a good God! Such a wonderful Father to me, to us all! Thank You for the privilege of prayer, that I can talk to You and You listen to me!
Open my ears and heart to listen to You, and to obey You--not get distracted from what You are directing me to accomplish. Strengthen me, Father, that I may narrow my focus onto the objective You place before me, and not be turned off to the right or to the left! Use me, Father, to do my part in Your Great Plan of the Ages!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
