Morning Psalm 63:1
Noon Psalm 3
Evening Psalm 27:8
All Christians yearn for the presence of the Lord. Only those who have felt it are capable of understanding this yearning. We desire His presence so ardently that we often have a special place to which we retreat in order to seek it. I know that God is always ready to listen to us, no matter where we are, but our lives are full of distractions that keep us from this focused seeking of God. For this reason, we usually look for a space where we can be alone with the Lord. Whether at home, at work, or in the car, it is in this special place that we feel calm, at ease, and where we can communicate with the Lord freely. It is there in that special meeting place that we develop our relationship with the Lord and where we run when we feel burdened. We are comforted to know that we will be alone with Him, renewing our strength, giving thanks and sharing our deepest thoughts. Find a special place to meet with the Lord and you will reap infinite rewards.

Morning Psalm 63:1
1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Noon Psalm 3
1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
Evening Psalm 27:8
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
