Psalm chapter 63.

It's one of my favorite Psalms, and it's a prayer.

So I don't want to just read it and then talk about it and pray according to it. I want us to actually

pray it together. So I'm just going to read the first eight verses that are a prayer and then flowing from that just

pray according to the leadership of God's spirit based on this spirit-inspired prayer. Psalm 63, let's just pray this together from each of our hearts.

Oh God, you are my God.

Earnestly I seek you.

My soul thirst for you.

My flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

Because your steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

So I will bless you as long as I live. In your name I will lift up my

hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food and my mouth will praise you with

joyful lips when I remember you upon my bed and meditate on you in the watches of the night for you have been my help and in

the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you. Your right hand upholds me.

Oh God, we want Psalm 63 to mark us, to characterize, to reflect our hearts in every way.

God, we pray that you would help us to earnestly seek you.

Above all things, just as you taught us Jesus

help us to seek you first, your kingdom, your righteousness,

and to trust you with everything else.
