A Prayer of Confidence in God's Protection (Psalm 17, Part 3)

A Prayer of Hope (verses 14-15)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%2017:14-15&version=NIV

We too often follow our society’s insistence that what we believe is personal opinion. As a result, our lives have little to distinguish us from the world around us. May we see God’s face and by it be changed into His image. Jesus Christ is our hope.

Lord, by Your hand save us from this world who seek rewards in this life. Give us satisfaction with seeing Your likeness. Thank You that we see Your face in Jesus.

Even before I make the request, my predicament does not escape you, nor are you ignorant of all the designs in my heart that I experience in the night and ponder by day.

Diodore of Tarsus (4^th c.)
