Psalm 132 - Praying for God
Now here’s something I’ve never thought of before, but David wanted God to feel God. He wanted God to feel loved. He wanted God to feel rested. Here is one of David’s prayers:
 3 “I will not enter my house
      or go to my bed- 4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes,
      no slumber to my eyelids, 5 till I find a place for the LORD,
      a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
…and another…
 7 “Let us go to his dwelling place;
      let us worship at his footstool- 8 arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place,
      you and the ark of your might. 9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness;
      may your saints sing for joy.”
Have you ever prayed for God? The closest I’ve gotten is during worship or service to Him, where I pray that what I am doing will be as sweet incense unto Him. But I never took it to the next step… actually wanting to comfort God. Why would I want to comfort Him? Christians don’t pray that way; they pray for their own comfort, that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, would be with them.
God has emotions. He gets upset, he gets jealous because we are His and He loves us. He is zealous for His honor, and wants a pure relationship with us. That must mean that he can feel hurt, drawn out, and weary. This is no reflection on His strength, His perfection, His promises, or His comforting of me. However, it confirms the reciprocal nature of David’s relationship with God. David is written of as a man after God’s heart. Now I know what that means… David loved God, and not just the way I mean when I have professed my own love for God. I mean that David really cared about Him and prayed for Him. He had a pure relationship with God. I have never done that, but now I will…
