My Prayer Time

I was going to do some activities tonight affiliated with my church and evangelism, but there is a terrible storm here, so I opted to stay at home to work.

I went to my little "prayer spot", beside my bed, and knelt down on my knees. I love to sing the hymns to God, as the songs bring such praise to Him and remind me of what a gift faith in Him is, as His Word of Life protects my path.

I sang, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" and knew that He was with me, guiding me today, just like He has guided me all of my life. I told Him anew that I was not saved for anything less than His best, which is a life far better than I could ever deserve.

"As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after Thee" got me. I started to cry as I continued, "You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship Thee....You are my Brother even though You are a King. I want You more than any other, so much more than anything."

But, what really touched my heart was when I began to sing:

"Jesus, what a Friend for sinners! Jesus lover of my soul; Friends may fail me, foes assail me, He, my Savior, makes me whole; Hallelujah! what a Savior! Hallelujah! what a Friend! Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end."

I wept as I asked God once again to be my everything. I know He will. He never takes away anything in my life without giving me something better, and He only gives good gifts. I continued:

"Jesus! What a Strength in weakness! Let me hide myself in Him
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing, He my Strength, my victory wins."

So, it was a good prayer time, once again knowing that Jesus came to live in my heart to stay, and I am never, ever alone.
