Conservative Wordsmith Susan Baldwin writes: I wrote this prayer for you, my readers. I ask God to bless all of you, especially those who seek God's face.
If you have been the target of physical, intellectual, or emotional intolerance, then this prayer is for you.
King James Bible
Psalm 24:6: "This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah." 1
King James Bible
Psalm 27:8: "When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek." 2
A Prayer For Those Who Seek God's Face
May you always be blessed by the one, true God.
May He always lift you up out of depression and hopelessness.
May you always be directed and guided by Him whenever you need to make decisions about anything important in your life.
May you recognize that there are those who belong to other Christian denominations (such as Mormons), and even other religions, who are living holy lives, and are, in fact, actually following God, regardless of your preconceived notions.
May you learn to be tolerant toward those that believe differently than you do.
May you learn to be tolerant toward those of other ethnic and religious backgrounds.
May you understand that the Lord's tolerance far surpasses your imperfect interpretation.
May you come to an understanding that even those who vehemently protest belief in God may, in fact, be closer to Him than you realize. Sometimes protest is an outward form of an inner spiritual struggle.
May you continue to walk on a good and righteous path, and may no harm or evil ever befall you.
May you never allow fear the power to destroy your dreams.
Amen.
