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)

Express your Unworthiness to Draw Near to God

Adoration 1.15 | NASB

I must express the sense I have of my own meanness and unworthiness to draw near to God and speak to Him.

But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? That God whom heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain, 2 Chronicles 6:18(NASB) with man, that maggot, and the son of man, that worm? Job 25:6(NASB)

Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my father’s house, that You have brought me this far to present myself before the Lord? 2 Samuel 7:18(NASB) That I have through Christ access in one Spirit to the Father? Ephesians 2:18(NASB) And yet, as if this had been insignificant in Your eyes, You have spoken also of the house of Your servant concerning the distant future. 2 Samuel 7:19(NASB)

What is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him, Psalm 8:4(NASB) and magnify him?

Oh may the Lord not be angry, Genesis 18:30(NASB) if I who am but dust and ashes venture to speak to the Lord of glory. Genesis 18:27(NASB)

I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant; Genesis 32:10(NASB) nor is it good to take the children’s bread and throw it to such as I am; yet the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table; Matthew 15:26-27(NASB) and You are abounding in riches for all who call upon You. Romans 10:12(NASB)
