In His Presence...



There come times when I have nothing more to tell God.  If I were to continue to pray in words, I would have to repeat what I have already said.  At such times it is wonderful to say to God, "May I be in Thy presence, Lord?  I have nothing more to say to Thee, but I do love to be in Thy presence."  ~O. Hallesby

That's all I want... to be in His presence - to totally surrender myself, put aside my own stilted perspective, to set aside what I want, to look beyond my circumstances... it's not about me.  It's about Him, giving Him the praise and worship that is His due.

I am grateful beyond measure for the unconditional love and favor He shows me, the unprecedented, undeserved forgiveness He grants me every day.

Baruch atah, Adonai,
Eloheinu...
