[Faith-talk] Prayer of meeting God

[Poppa Bear]

Meeting God
  Great God, in public and private, in sanctuary and home, may my life be 
  steeped in prayer, filled with the spirit of grace and supplication, each 
  prayer perfumed with the incense of atoning blood. Help me, defend me, until 
  from praying ground I pass to the realm of unceasing praise. Urged by my need, 
  invited by Thy promises, called by Thy Spirit, I enter Thy presence, 
  worshipping Thee with godly fear, awed by Thy majesty, greatness, glory, but 
  encouraged by Thy love. 
  I am all poverty as well as all guilt, having nothing of my own with which to 
  repay Thee, but I bring Jesus to Thee in the arms of faith, pleading His 
  righteousness to offset my iniquities, rejoicing that He will weigh down the 
  scales for me, and satisfy thy justice. I bless Thee that great sin draws out 
  great grace, that, although the lest sin deserves infinite punishment because 
  done against an infinite God, yet there is mercy for me, for where guilt is 
  most terrible, there Thy mercy in Christ is most free and deep. Bless me by 
  revealing to me more of His saving merits, by causing Thy goodness to pass 
  before me, by speaking peace to my contrite heart; strengthen me to give Thee 
  no rest untiI Christ shall reign supreme within me in every thought, word, and 
  deed, in a faith that purifies the heart, overcomes the world, works by love, 
  fastens me to Thee, and ever clings to the cross.
