IMMANENCE

What varous hindrances we meet

   In coming to the mercy seat;

Yet who, that knows the

   worth of prayer,

But wishes to be often there?

                        -- William Cowper

 

Seek the LORD and His strength,

   seek His presence continually!

Remember the wondrous works that

   He has done.

Save us, O God of our salvation,

   and gather and deliver us from

among the nations,

   that we may give thanks to Your holy name,

and glory in Your praise. (I Chronicles 16:11, 35)
