Humbly Profess the Desire of your Heart for God

Adoration 1.16 | KJV

I must humbly profess the desire of my heart towards God, as my felicity and portion and fountain of life and all good to me.

Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee or in comparison of thee. When my flesh and my heart fail, be thou the strength of my heart and my portion for ever, Psalm 73:25-26(KJV) the portion of my inheritance in the other world and of my cup in this; and then I will say that the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places, and that I have a goodly heritage. Psalm 16:5-6(KJV)

The desire of my soul is to thy name and to the remembrance of thee; with my soul have I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within me will I seek thee early. Isaiah 26:8-9(KJV)

As the hart panteth after the water brook, so panteth my soul after thee, O God; my soul thirsteth for God, for the living God, Psalm 42:1-2(KJV) who will command his loving-kindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:8(KJV)

O that I may come hungering and thirsting after righteousness, Matthew 5:6(KJV) for thou fillest the hungry with good things, but the rich thou sendest empty away. Luke 1:53(KJV)

O that my soul may thirst for thee, and my flesh long for thee in a dry and thirsty land where no water is; that I may see thy power and thy glory, as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Thy loving-kindness is better than life; Psalm 63:1-3(KJV) my soul shall be satisfied with that as with marrow and fatness, and then my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips. Psalm 63:5(KJV)

Humbly Profess the Desire of your Heart for God

Adoration 1.16 | ESV

We must humbly profess the desire of our hearts towards God, as our felicity and portion and fountain of life and all good to us.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you or in comparison with you. When my flesh and my heart fail, Lord, be the strength of my heart and my portion forever, Psalm 73:25-26(ESV) the chosen portion of my inheritance in the other world and of my cup in this; and then I will say that the lines have fallen for me in pleasant places, and that I have a beautiful inheritance. Psalm 16:5-6(ESV)

Your name and remembrance are the desire of my soul; my soul yearns for you in the night, and my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. Isaiah 26:8-9(ESV)

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God; my soul thirsts for God, for the living God, Psalm 42:1-2(ESV) who commands his steadfast love by day, and at night his song is with me; a prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:8(ESV)

O that I may come hungering and thirsting after righteousness, Matthew 5:6(ESV) for you fill the hungry with good things, but the rich you send away empty. Luke 1:53(ESV)

O that my soul may thirst for you, and my flesh faint for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water; that I may see your power and glory, as I have looked upon you in the sanctuary. Your steadfast love is better than life; Psalm 63:1-3(ESV) my soul will be satisfied with that as with fat and rich food, and then my mouth will praise you with joyful lips. Psalm 63:5(ESV)

Express your Unworthiness to Draw Near to God

Adoration 1.15 | NASB

I must express the sense I have of my own meanness and unworthiness to draw near to God and speak to Him.

But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? That God whom heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain, 2 Chronicles 6:18(NASB) with man, that maggot, and the son of man, that worm? Job 25:6(NASB)

Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my father’s house, that You have brought me this far to present myself before the Lord? 2 Samuel 7:18(NASB) That I have through Christ access in one Spirit to the Father? Ephesians 2:18(NASB) And yet, as if this had been insignificant in Your eyes, You have spoken also of the house of Your servant concerning the distant future. 2 Samuel 7:19(NASB)

What is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him, Psalm 8:4(NASB) and magnify him?

Oh may the Lord not be angry, Genesis 18:30(NASB) if I who am but dust and ashes venture to speak to the Lord of glory. Genesis 18:27(NASB)

I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant; Genesis 32:10(NASB) nor is it good to take the children’s bread and throw it to such as I am; yet the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table; Matthew 15:26-27(NASB) and You are abounding in riches for all who call upon You. Romans 10:12(NASB)

Adoration 1.15 | NIV

I must express the sense I have of my own meanness and unworthiness to draw near to God and speak to him.

But will God really dwell on earth with men? That God whom the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain, 2 Chronicles 6:18(NIV) with man, who is but a maggot – a son of man, who is only a worm? Job 25:6(NIV)

Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far to present myself before the Lord? 2 Samuel 7:18(NIV) That I have through Christ an access to the Father by one Spirit? Ephesians 2:18(NIV) And yet, as if this were not enough in your sight, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant. Is this your usual way of dealing with man, O Sovereign LORD? 2 Samuel 7:19(NIV)

What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him, Psalm 8:4(NIV) and thus magnify him?

May the Lord not be angry, Genesis 18:30(NIV) if I, who am nothing but dust and ashes, am so bold as to speak to the Lord of glory. Genesis 18:27(NIV)

I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant; Genesis 32:10(NIV) nor is it right to take the children’s bread and toss it to such as I am; but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table; Matthew 15:26-27(NIV) and you richly bless with mercy all who call on you. Romans 10:12(NIV)
