We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

There is always design in our distress. God so values our trust in Him alone that He will graciously take away everything else in the world that we might be tempted to rely on: even life itself if necessary. His desire is that we grow deeper and stronger in our confidence that He Himself is all we need.
Sam Storms

The word of the Father by whom all time was created was made flesh and born in time for us. He without whose divine permission no day completes its course, wished to have one of those days for His human birth. In the bosom of His Father He existed before all the cycles of the ages. Born of an earthly mother, He entered on the course of the years on that very day. The maker of man became man that He ruler of the stars might be nourished at the breast, that He the bread might be hungry, that He the fountain might thirst, that He the light might sleep, that He the way might be wearied in the journey, that He the truth might be accused by false witnesses, that He the judge of the living and the dead might be brought to trial by a mortal judge, that He justice itself might be condemned by the unjust, that He discipline personified might be scourged with a whip, that He the foundation might be suspended on a cross, that He courage incarnate might be weak, and He security itself might be wounded, and He life itself might die.
Augustine

求主恩助
大卫的祈祷。
耶和华啊,求你侧耳应允我,
因我是困苦穷乏的。
求你保存我的性命,因我是虔诚人。
我的 神啊,求你拯救这倚靠你的仆人!
主啊,求你怜悯我,
因我终日求告你。
主啊,求你使仆人心里欢喜,
因为我的心仰望你。
主啊,你本为良善,乐意饶恕人,
有丰盛的慈爱赐给凡求告你的人。
耶和华啊,求你留心听我的祷告,
垂听我恳求的声音。
我在患难之日要求告你,
因为你必应允我。
 
主啊,诸神之中没有可比你的;
你的作为也无可比。
主啊,你所造的万民都要来敬拜你;
他们也要荣耀你的名。
10 因你为大,且行奇妙的事;
惟独你是 神。
11 耶和华啊,求你将你的道指教我;
我要照你的真理行;
求你使我专心敬畏你的名!
12 主—我的 神啊,我要一心称赞你;
我要荣耀你的名,直到永远。
13 因为,你向我发的慈爱是大的;
你救了我的灵魂免入极深的阴间。
 
14  神啊,骄傲的人起来攻击我,
又有一党强横的人寻索我的命;
他们没有将你放在眼中。
15 主啊,你是有怜悯有恩典的 神,
不轻易发怒,并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实。
16 求你向我转脸,怜恤我,
将你的力量赐给仆人,救你婢女的儿子。
17 求你向我显出恩待我的凭据,
叫恨我的人看见便羞愧,
因为你—耶和华帮助我,安慰我。
