The One Thing I Pray For

"One thing I ask of the LORD;
this I seek:
To dwell in the LORD’s house
all the days of my life,
To gaze on the LORD’s beauty,
to visit his temple."  (Psalm 27: 4)

The one thing that is necessary:

"But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness,* and all these things will be given you besides."  (Matthew 6: 33)

How to get that one thing:

"Wait for the LORD, take courage;
be stouthearted, wait for the LORD!"  (Psalm 27:  14)

The certainty of prayer:

"I believe I shall see the LORD’s goodness
in the land of the living."  (Psalm 27: 13)
