Prayer
O Lord, You are the one who can grant my heart’s desire. Indeed, as I reflect upon what I truly want in life, You are my heart’s desire! Sure, there are other things I want, and many of these are good things: a healthy family, a fulfilling ministry, to make a difference for You in this world. But, more deeply, I desire You . . . Your presence, Your delight, Your peace. Only You can give me these.
Postscript
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me with honor.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 Indeed, those who are far from you will perish;
you put an end to those who are false to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord GOD my refuge,
to tell of all your works.
Psalm 73:23-28
