A Prayerful Face
Read: Psalm 27: 7-8
“My heart says of you, ‘Seek His Face!’ Your face, Lord, I will seek.” – Psalm 27: 8
Whenever I pray and direct my prayers to Jesus, I try to see a recognizable face of Jesus to make my prayer experience a little more personal and intimate. I can’t. If I’m praying to God the Father, I’m comfortable praying to God as Spirit. No need to see a face.
For me, what drives my need to see a face of Jesus in my prayers is a Biblical teaching that Jesus is fully human and fully divine. I seek a face for that fully human nature. I haven’t found that face yet, but I keep seeking.
When you pray, do you seek or see a face to converse with? If not, then who or what do you see or sense in prayer?
Prayer: Lord, I seek your face in personal prayer with you. I know I will see your face in the course of time, but a reassuring glimpse now would be a true comfort on my journey until then. Amen.
