Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalms 139:23, 24 KJV)
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. (Psalms 63:1-8 KJV)
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20 KJV)
Review each instruction from God's Word and make it your prayer.
Day 1: O GOD YOU ARE MY GOD!
Daily pray Psalm 139:23-24. Ask God to do what you are unable to do. Allow Him to reveal your sin and any idols you are clinging to and enable you to confess and fully repent. God rewards those who earnestly seek Him. That is a promise! "And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him" (Hebrews 11:6 ESV).
Day 2: I WILL EARNESTLY SEEK YOU!
Earnestly seeking the Lord doesn't just happen. Invest yourself in Him and in this relationship. When you get up from your time with Him, don't just "leave" Him there, walk with Him throughout your day, abiding in Him. Give yourself to this endeavor with all you've got and ask Him to give you all the grace you need!
Day 3: MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR YOU!
Immerse yourself in God's Word-in who He is. Take His Word and bring it to your heart, mind, and soul moment by moment, day by day. At the same time, put self-that "old girl"-to death and put on Christ and His righteousness. This is God's amazing grace, that by the power of His Holy Spirit, God will be your God and you will become more like Him, glorify Him, and enjoy Him!
Day 4: I WANT TO SEE YOUR POWER AND GLORY!
Really, truly believe the grace that you have been given in Christ to enable you to live the Word! Step forward in faith, be transformed by the renewing of your mind, walk in obedience to His Word, and trust in God and His power to accomplish it no matter what your circumstances look like.
