As The Deer

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.

My soul thrists for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, "Where is your God?"

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him.
For the help of His countenance.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
and from the heights of Hermon, from the Hill Mizar.

Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me-
A prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God my rock, "Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

Psalm 42:1-11 (KJV)

The Bible says...

"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,
that you may know that you have eternal life,
and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God."
1 John 5:12-13, (NKJV)

How to receive Christ:

Admit your need (I am a sinner)
Be willing to turn from your sins (repent)
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
Through prayer, invite Jesus to come in
and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.)

What to Pray:

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness.
I believe that You died for my sins.
I want to turn from my sins.
I now invite You to come into my heart and life.
I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
