Search for the LORD and for his strength;
continually seek him.
Remember the wonders he has performed,
his miracles, and the rulings he has given,
you children of his servant Abraham,
you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.—Psalm 105:4-6 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Where can I go to find strength, but to You? Help me find my strength in You, that my heart may remain fixed on continually seeking You—Your will, Your plans, Your purposes for me!
Help me to remember that,
just as You choose the descendants of Abraham and Jacob as Your own, You choose
me and received me as Your own—when I accepted the freely offered invitation of
the Holy Spirit to find my salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
And help me to remember all
the wonders that You have performed, Your miracles, and the rulings and
instructions that You have given—both as recorded in the Bible and as written
upon the pages of my own life.
But don’t just help me to remember,
also help me to respond to that love You so graciously demonstrated, by
believing You and showing my gratitude to You in faithful obedience to
everything You have taught me.
Help me to seek out Your
strength—that strength that comes from the Word and the Holy Spirit, which by Your
grace and mercy are alive and active in me, to give me the power to follow
after You in obedience.
Then help me to use that
strength to search for more of You in my life all the rest of my days here
on earth, until You take me to be forever with You there.
Where can I go to find strength, but to You? Help me find my strength in You, that my heart may remain fixed on continually seeking You—Your will, Your plans, Your purposes for me!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
