Only You, LORD, Can Satisfy Our Deep Need



I have heard all about you, LORD.
    I am filled with awe by your amazing works.
In this time of our deep need,
    help us again as you did in years gone by.
And in your anger,
    remember your mercy.

—Habakkuk 3:2 (NLT)


Merciful LORD,


In this time of our deep need, please help us once again!  Though we deserve Your anger, even still have mercy upon us according to Your loving-kindness!


As I search the words of Your Holy Scriptures, I am filled with awe and wonder—with reverential fear and respect—because of Your amazing works and the demonstrations of Your unlimited power and unfailing love for Your people.

I see the times that You have tempered Your anger toward the unfaithfulness of Your people with Your mercy—so that they were not completely destroyed and the glory of Your Name could continue to be proclaimed throughout the world by the remnants of the faithful.

Grant us Your mercy, that Your glory might yet shine from within us, that we would return to You in repentance, and find You waiting there to help us, just as You did in years gone by.


In this time of our deep need, please help us once again!  Though we deserve Your anger, even still have mercy upon us according to Your loving-kindness!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
