A Precious 'Pressing' Presence

'prayerfully pressing into His presence.' is the final phrase in today's Oh, what would we do without this refuge?! When all else fails, never God. No matter what may seem... Ps.31:19How great is Your goodness,Which You have stored up for those who fear You,Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You,Before the sons of men! He gives sufficient grace where Unknown’s tempest rollsHe tests the treasures we embrace as we pour our soulsGoodness and mercy’s trove no trial can expendNor drain the storehouses of love no thought can comprehend He teaches us to trust only as all else failsHe reaches through our rue of dust to hoist hope’s weathered sailsHis promises endure to comfort mortal careHe keeps faith’s falt’ring bark secure as we press into prayer …where God’s presence defends faith’s groaning cruciformAs peace, not of this world transcends the substance of the stormWhere no power on earth can begin to compareTo the inimitable worth of full surrender’s prayer © Janet Martin Beautiful post on
