\nCommunion with God is an urgent need of my soul. I thirst f or the living water only the living God can provide. His constant fountain of life\, light\, and love is my soul's desire.
\nTo see the face o f God and to be seen by Him - I would come into His presence\, and my thir st would be satisfied.
\nHope in God! In the morning\, after a dark and troubled night\, I seek His face and hope to be saved out of my sadnes s. I search for the Words that put scorn on my laughing enemies. I desire with all my heart for joy to be restored\, for the chains to be removed\, and my prison walls shaken. Hope then in God. Seek His presence and be res tored. Sow in your heart His words which \"grow laurels of future victorie s\, the roses of coming joy\, the lilies of approaching peace.\" (Spurgeon )
\nI ask for my heart to be healed and restored\, and I receive You r perfect peace. I ask for the oil of joy to be my portion. I put on the g arment of praise\, worshipping and honoring You. I receive freedom from al l oppression in the name of Jesus!
