With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD! I will keep your statutes.
Lord, it is only when I am willing to cry with my whole heart, not reserving any portion for myself, giving You total control that You answer. Help me, Lord, to uncover those hidden preserves, expose them to the fierce wrath of Your love and cauterize them with Your Glory.
I call to you; save me, that I may observe your testimonies.
Keep me, Lord from falling away into despair and self-pity for it is only when I live in trust and faith that I can see Your promises revealed in me and to me.
