Lord God, You Are My Petition Granter

March 14 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on 1Samuel 1-4

Key Verse –1Samuel 1:17, Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY PETITION GRANTER Lord God, You are my petition Granter, answering me when I pray Thank You that You accept my sacrifice offered according to Your way As You bring me to Your faith-brightening ray For me to abide in Your Word everyday. Lord God, You are my petition Granter, anointing me to rejoice in Your salvation Thank You that You lead my soul toward biblical conversion As You have mercy on me, forgiving my confessed transgression For me to cease from religious frustration, secured with Your redemption. Lord God, You are my petition Granter, advising me through Your wisdom Thank You that You deal with me with Your truth’s freedom As You correct me of my disobedience due to vain boredom For me to walk along Your righteousness, advancing Your kingdom. Lord God, You are my petition Granter, admonishing me with Your Word Thank You that You enlighten me from dimness-discord As You teach me through Your Scripture-record For me to perform Your will in Your accord. Lord God, You are my petition Granter, alerting me against iniquity Thank You that You purge me from my sins’ impurity As You cleanse me by Your sanctification-certainty For me to glow in virtuous sincerity. Lord God, You are my petition Granter, accompanying me in righteousness-battle Thank You that You fetch me from earthly vanity shuttle As You direct me to Your covenant and there I serenely settle For me to fight and win by Your strengthening mettle. Lord God, You are my petition Granter, awakening me from fatal backsliding Thank You that You deliver me from grievous pretending As You help me with Your encouragement upholding For me to dwell in Your glory by Your bestowed divine understanding.
