Be gracious to me, O Lord! Psalms 9:13 (ESV)
Such
simple words, such a seemingly small thing to ask, yet these few words ask that
nothing less than all that is Jesus Christ be given to me.
In
these few words the living God is petitioned to fulfill every one of His
promises to me.
This
short prayer is a petition for the absolute heights, depths and breadth of God’s
love to be given to me.
This
mustard size prayer pleads for the Lord to move the mountain of my sin from me
here to the Christ there.
This
seemingly nothing of a prayer prays that the Lord provide me with everything.
This
unworthy prayer prayed according to the worthiness of the Lord to answered it for
me.
If
you would know whether all that this prayer asks is answered – look to the
manger of Christ, look to the life of Christ, look to the cross of Christ, look
to the death of Christ, look to the resurrection of Christ from the dead, and
if you would find the answer to this little prayer in your life, look to your
baptism in you were united by the grace of God the answer – Jesus Christ.
The
grace of God be with you all. Amen.
