"Seek ye My face... Thy face, Lord, will I seek." Psalm 27:8.
In prayer I have not only to ask for things, but to realize the presence of Him to whom I speak. "Seek the Lord, and His strength: seek His face evermore." Psalm 105:4. If I lose the sense of seeing Him by faith, the power of prayer is gone. Prayer is not only asking right things, but having the sense of the Person there. If I have not that, I lose the sense of His love, and of being heard.
