All the Way in, All the Way through

 

You have said,

    "Seek My face."

My heart says to You,

"Your face, LORD,

       do I seek."

       Psalm 27. 8

(How do we go

    into this day,

this impossible situation,

what is overwhelming,

a rocky path

       or none at all?

God tells us exactly how.

Turn towards Me.

To seek, to strive after,

to search out by every means

    in worship and prayer,

to live in His Presence,

to realize

   His eyes are already on us.

God says literally,

    Look Me in the eye.

He does not just show up.

He has already gone

                 before us.

He is already with us.)

O LORD,

Your face, LORD,

      do we seek.

Guide us not just

      into this day

      or Your way through,

but abide in Your Presence.

Help us to trust You

     forward and backward.

May we walk differently

  because we seek Your face.

May we be aware

       of Your Presence.
