Day 4: Perfect peace
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?... Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God (Psalm 42:1-2,11).
Look upon us, O Lord,
and let all the darkness of our souls
vanish before the beams of Thy brightness.
Fill us with holy love,
and open to us the treasures of Thy wisdom.
All our desire is known unto Thee,
therefore perfect what Thou hast begun,
and what Thy Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer.
We seek Thy face,
turn Thy face unto us and show us Thy glory.
Then shall our longing be satisfied,
and our peace shall be perfect.
~ Augustine of Hippo ~ 354 - 430
As men seek for hidden treasure,
As for rain thirsts the drying sod,
As the hart pants after water,
So my heart pants after God.
I seek not for worldly pleasure,
I pray not for earthly store;
My whole soul goes after Jesus—
I am seeking nothing more.
Oh, to be holy, holy, holy,
Like my Savior every day,
To be filled with all His fullness,
’Tis for this I pray and pray
~ Charles E. Orr ~ pub. 1904
