Lord Jesus think on me

I was driving home from work last night, trying to unload all my thoughts and wound up energy from work...
looking for peace.....
rest...
comfort....
quiet...
the usual after work wind down.....
at times like these my little car turns into a sanctuary of prayer...
and as usual I went through the standard prayers...."Lord Jesus please forgive me for the ways I let you down today, let your grace and mercy be upon me and my family."
I was trying to get that connection with the Holy Spirit that is so needed in prayer....a lot of times when I'm praying and seeking God I will sense the Holy Spirit with me all of a sudden, and then its like God is saying "OK I'm here now I'm listening" then the real praying begins!
sometimes praise helps trigger the connection....
sometimes worship...
sometimes reading Gods word out loud....
last night it was something different....something new and unexpected...it was a church sign that read..."Lord Jesus think on me"
As I read that sign my soul cried out in agreement "Yes Lord Jesus Think on me!, that's what I need, that's what I desire that my God and creator would direct His holy thoughts towards me, just a lowly servant, but one whom He loves!!"
The cry of my heart was summed up in one little sentence from one little church sign!!
Simple yet great...who would have known?
Hallelujah Amen!!
