Before I Call on Him

[S] Isaiah 65:24 --
24It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

[O] God answers me before I even call on Him.  That's the type of God I am serving.  He knows where I am before I realize where I am.  He will guide me beyond what I can imagine.

[A] During the moments when I feel like God has abandoned me (or ignoring me) I need to recite this verse because He does not slumber or ignore me but answers me even before I ask for anything.  How can I be capitalize on His answers in my life?  I need to first have a deep trust in Him and know that He is near me at all times.

[P] Dear Father, may Your presence go ahead of my thinking at all times so that there won't be any room for me to doubt if you hear me.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

Answer Me Quickly

[S] Psalm 143:7-8 --
7 Answer me quickly, O LORD, my spirit fails;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.

8 Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Teach me the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.

[O] Life is like a thirsty person looking for water to quench it, and until found the desperation is like the author of this psalm where unless he hears God answering his call his spirit will fail.  Every morning he desires to hear God's voice so he may build up his trust in God for the rest of the day.  With all that he desires to praise God through his soul.

[A] I am currently crying out to God for a specific direction in my life and I am in accord with this psalmist about praying to God to "answer me quickly" and do not hide Your face from me.  I want to continue to put my trust in Him who will answer in His timing.  I want to treasure each morning to hear His voice.

[P] Dear Father, I don't want my life to be deflating but inflating with Your hope and rejoicing despite a sense of being stuck.  I would like to be immersed in Your countenance each morning so that I will lift up my soul to You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
