Whatever it Takes Lord...

I was reading this today on the Desiring God Blog and loved it, so I thought I would pass it along!

WHATEVER IT TAKES, LORD, GIVE ME...
Delight in you as the greatest treasure of my heart.

Delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)

WHATEVER IT TAKES, LORD, GIVE ME...
Desire to know you, be with you, and seek your kingdom above all else.

Delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)

WHATEVER IT TAKES, LORD, GIVE ME...
Discernment that comes from a renewed mind that I might know your will.

But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:14)

WHATEVER IT TAKES, LORD, GIVE ME...
Discipline to plan for what I discern as your will.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16)

WHATEVER IT TAKES, LORD, GIVE ME...
Diligence to do your will with all my heart.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. (Deuteronomy 6:5)
