Laura, you are absolutely right. That's what I was trying to say. Diane, I am thankful that God gave me a vivid picture of a heavenly Father delighted with His children. It has been a help to me especially this week. Monica, You are right that much of the music we hear focuses on ourselves. It's not always a good thing. My brother wrote a song on the Jeremiah passage. I appreciate his desire to sing based on much Scripture, because that's what will change our lives. (Tom's song, "Glory in This" can be found on itunes if you search on his name: Tom Pryde) Thanks all for your comments. Laura, you are absolutely right. That’s what I was trying to say.

It's easy to fall on either side of the ditch and lately I've been feeling inadequate and dwelling on that. I need to recognize that I need to delight in God no matter how I feel and not think because I feel inadequate, he does also. Thanks for that last line about forgetting about ourselves.

Isn't that so like our own prayer lives? We don't know what to say, or how to say it, because we are only children; but our Father is delighted that we want to interact with Him, and He condescends to our feeble attempts with, I believe, great joy. Btw, Jer. 9:23,24 was the first passage I memorized as a new believer...way back in 1979. :) Thanks for these ideas. I loved this about the communication between David and your husband.

It challenged me to pray and keep pressing through. It's such a blessing that God is delighted with fellowship with us, not because we wear out our floor, but because He loves us. Our simple coming to Him can be so sweet when it is just that, simply looking unto Jesus and focusing on Him, not what we lack or excel in. I also think that so much of Christian music is focused on ourselves, our depravity, our constant failures, and I think we are missing the bigger picture many times- Jesus. Great post. Hope you are well. I also grew up in the Lord reading wonderful biographies of John Hyde and other prayer warriors. It challenged me to pray and keep pressing through.
