Oh, that we might know the LORD!
Let us press on to know him.
He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn
or the coming of rains in early spring.—Hosea 6:3 (NLT)
Loving and Compassionate LORD,
Your Word promises that You will respond to me, when I seek You, when I choose to press on to know You. So help me to know You as You are—to know You in truth!
Don’t allow me to settle for knowing about You, LORD, but help me to know You intimately—through my experience of Your Holy Spirit at work in me, through me, and all around me.
Help me to understand that my deepest needs and desires are satisfied only by knowing You personally—not as some abstract idea, but in unbroken fellowship with You, as Your very own child.
Help me to seek You through continuous prayer, in spontaneous worship, and by careful meditation on the Truth of Your Word—and by application of that Truth to my life.
Keep me mindful that You so desired a relationship with me, that You choose to live inside of me by Your Holy Spirit, when I first surrendered my life to Christ—sealing my life in Your love forever.
Your Word promises that You will respond to me, when I seek You, when I choose to press on to know You. So help me to know You as You are—to know You in truth!
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
