“But by my love and hope, I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!”- Friedrich Hietzsche
The meaning of beseech is to make an urgent appeal.
We located 36 verses in the Bible that use the word beseech...
What a difficult word to wrap my head around!! This word originated from Middle English... I am so puzzled where are these words coming from??? Is He trying to be funny? Is He trying to make me stretch my vocabulary? Did I use these words long ago? I must seek His help to gain a better understanding of what He wants of me.
Please, Elohim, I beseech your help in understanding why you dropped this curious word into my mind this evening.
I did discover that out of thirty-six times, the word beseech is used in the Old Testament, but all but six are used to address God. This beseeching is an urgent request and a call for action on His part. A prayer is spoken in the inhalation of Oh, dear God. A prayer of longing and desperation.
I now have a better understanding... Because I have been in that very state of mind... I desperately long for His beautiful presence. There have been times that I have felt His presence so strong that I felt Him within the depths of my soul... I will confess it’s so easy to get deeply lost within Him... He is all-consuming!!
I have been so lost and consumed that I found myself engulfed in a state of His heavenly bliss… It’s the most incredible, heartfelt moment when our soul can speak to Him without uttering a single word... His love is not of this world and is so difficult to explain. I just know when I am in His presence, I am whisked away to a spiritual place of complete surrender!! It’s there I find myself humbly begging Him to stay!!!
Elohim, I beseech you to just linger here with me for a while… Open my heart and never stop whispering your love song to my soul!!!
It's Him! It's always Him, and I am undone!!
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
