Entreat God’s Favorable Acceptance

Adoration 1.18 | NASB

I must entreat God’s favorable acceptance of me and my poor performances.

Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?” But this we say, “Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD,” and that shall fill our hearts with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. Psalm 4:6-7(NIV)

We have sought your face with all our heart, Psalm 119:58(NIV) for in this we labor, that whether at home in the body or away from it, we may please the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:9(NIV)

O LORD, hear our prayer, listen to our cry for mercy; in your faithfulness come to our relief, Psalm 143:1(NIV) and be near us whenever we pray to you; Deuteronomy 4:7(NIV) for you have not said to Jacob’s descendants, “Seek me in vain.” Isaiah 45:19(NIV)

You who hear the young ravens when they call, Psalm 147:9(NIV) do not turn a deaf ear to us, for if you remain silent, we will be like those who have gone down to the pit. Psalm 28:1(NIV)

May our prayer be set before you like incense, and the lifting up of our hands be acceptable in your sight like the evening sacrifice. Psalm 141:2(NIV)

Profess your Believing Hope and Confidence in God

Adoration 1.17 | NASB

I must likewise profess my believing hope and confidence in God and His all-sufficiency, in His power, providence, and promise.

In You, O God, I have taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; Psalm 31:1(NASB) indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed. Psalm 25:3(NASB)

My soul waits in silence for God only; from Him is my salvation: Psalm 62:1-2(NASB) He only is my rock and my salvation! On Him my salvation and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God, and my hope is from Him. Psalm 62:5-7(NASB)

When there is no escape for me, and no one cares for my soul, I cry out to You, O LORD, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” Psalm 142:4-5(NASB)

Some boast in chariots and some in horses, but I will boast in the name of the LORD, my God. Psalm 20:7(NASB) I will trust in Your lovingkindness, O God, forever and ever, and will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones. Psalm 52:8-9(NASB)

I have waited for Your word; Psalm 119:81(NASB) O remember Your word to Your servant, in which You have made me hope. Psalm 119:49(NASB)

Humbly Profess the Desire of your Heart for God

Adoration 1.16 | NASB

I must humbly profess the desire of my heart towards God, as my felicity and portion and fountain of life and all good to me.

Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth or in comparison to You. When my flesh and my heart fail, be the strength of my heart and my portion forever, Psalm 73:25-26(NASB) the portion of my inheritance in the other world and of my cup in this; and then I will say that the lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, and that my heritage is beautiful to me. Psalm 16:5-6(NASB)

Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of my soul; at night my soul longs for You, indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently. Isaiah 26:8-9(NASB)

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God; my soul thirsts for God, for the living God, Psalm 42:1-2(NASB) who will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and whose song will be with me in the night, my prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:8(NASB)

O that I may come hungering and thirsting after righteousness, Matthew 5:6(NASB) for You fill the hungry with good things, but send away the rich empty-handed. Luke 1:53(NASB)

O that my soul may thirst for You, and my flesh yearn for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water; that I may see You in the sanctuary, may see Your power and Your glory. Your lovingkindness is better than life; Psalm 63:1-3(NASB) my soul will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and then my mouth will offer praises with joyful lips. Psalm 63:5(NASB)
