I need an encounter with You, O God.
Real and unfiltered.
An uncensored, no-holds-barred Experience.
A Meeting between You and me,
Face to face,
During which something happens to me,
And I know it.
~
I need an encounter with YOU. I need an encounter with You, O God. A solid and uncushioned collision With the rock wall of Your will, A crossroads at which I can no longer stall a move Toward You, A moment in time during which something changes in me, And I know it.~
I need an encounter with YOU. I must have an encounter with You, O God. Though I know for sure You are true, I hunger for You, and I simply will not go on - Unless and until I deal directly with You.~
Please understand, I'm not making threats, Though the desperate often do. What I am saying is: Nothing Else Has Meaning Unless, O God, there is YOU.~
O My God, Let me feel Your heat; Let me know Your fire; Let me experience Your life. Do what You want to Do what You must do Just let me encounter You. I must experience - I must know - I need an encounter with You, O God. I need to have Your heat - I feel so cold. I need to have Your life - I feel so old. I need an encounter with YOU. I must feel - O God, I've got to have an encounter With YOU. -Rev. Tim Cynova~
Awesome prayer. How did this guy hear my desperation?…Jeanie
NOTE TO SELF: Pray and wait and pray and listen and pray and be changed.
