Hear me oh Lord, for you are my help in my time of trouble. Here am I my Lord, requesting the ear of your heart…for in the entirety of my request, I live for the life of your words. It was you who determined to call me according to your purpose…who am I, that you are mindful of me? Did you not find me wanting and groping in the darkness of my own ignorance? Have mercy on me my God, for I am as a grain of sand upon the earth. Who am I, my Lord—that you are mindful of me? At this very moment I have known your Love…I have felt it’s substance in the things I’ve hope for and I’ve known it as evidence… in things not seen. You are the giver of life….my life, yet my eyes have never found your face. Surely I am veiled by the hope that only you can give…my spirit bears your seal of possession…far beyond my will. Is it not your hand that covers me???....is not this, the same hand that spans the heavens and the earth that has become my canopy and the dwelling place of my life? Where oh Lord can I go …there is no place you have not seen and have not reached out to rescue me. Even in my deepest of solitude… you are there and have always been my exceedingly great reward—and sovereign shield.
Be it known by my own declaration and my handing of the key…I belong to you.

About the Book
Meditation prompts, came about as a result of the Lord fulfilling the promise He gave to me in the book of Proverbs 24:13-14. Not long after the rededication of my commitment to serve Jesus Christ, I was gifted with His promise of wisdom with understanding. These promptings often came in the early morning hours—during my time of communion and fellowship. I often liken these moment by moment refreshments—as to spending time in “The River of Life”. His introduction of intimacy begins as a gradual stream, that journeys through chosen “meadow-like” valleys of insight. {I have experienced the peace of His inviting presence, as the stirrings of a brook, which flows over smooth stones that lay in its pathway}. These were quiet- captivating interludes of lively conversational thoughts, which were orchestrated by His Spirit. {It is beyond my comprehension—that God, Who made all things, could so affectionately and purposefully lift me closer to Himself through the raising of my spiritual understanding of His ways}. As our time together progresses on, we eventually arrive at a place where the vastness of His thoughts are overwhelmingly endless. At such a view I am taken in and dispersed about… by the breadth and length, depth and height of His love for me. God in all His Majesty and Splendor begins to personally instruct on what is to be unveiled of His treasury of hidden thoughts. {God releases wisdom to reproduce His thoughts in the minds and hearts that hold His affection. Meditation and prompts are fruitful twins that come from the union of God and His beloved}. God is faithful—and is without loss in His giving…so when He meets with me in the early waking hours of the morning, I know that I am especially being awakened to receive what only He can give—Selah.
