Needing Him:

      Lord, as I stand before you tonight, I declare my desperate need for you.

      Since meeting you, I've been aware of your attention and faithfulness, but tonight I cry out to you for encouragement, consolation and vision.

     Lord, it seems to me that if this matter is not resolved, I cannot live.    Of course because of your Word, I know that is not the case.  Nevertheless, I reach out to take the Hand that is always extended to me.

     My Lord, I need you so.  I need to see you.  I need to hear you.  I need to experience your Touch.  I beg you to open the shackles.

     No matter what Lord, please do the deepest work in me in order to bring about your own likeness.

     My Lord and my God.
