Above All Else

pursuing God

The following is a quote from The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer. It is how he closes his short book and I thought it was worth sharing. It is my prayer and hope it is yours too. You can listen to the audio version online. Pursuit of God And, of course, it can be purchased in paperback. (The following quote is from audio version time stamp 3:08:20.)

Above All

Lord, I would trust Thee completely; I would be altogether Thine; I would exalt Thee above all. I desire that I may feel no sense of possessing anything outside of Thee. I want constantly to be aware of Thy over-shadowing Presence and to hear Thy speaking Voice. I long to live in restful sincerity of heart. I want to live so fully in the Spirit that all my thought may be as sweet incense ascending to Thee and every act of my life may be an act of worship. Therefore I pray in the words of Thy great servant of old,

“I beseech Thee so for to cleanse the intent of mine heart with the unspeakable gift of Thy grace, that I may perfectly love Thee and worthily praise Thee.” And all this I confidently believe Thou wilt grant me through the merits of Jesus Christ Thy Son. Amen

I can add nothing to these simple statements but to say that I only want to perfectly love God and worthily praise Him. Is that your prayer, too?
