The most important thing to you is to gain more understanding and discernment of Adonai's word. You desire to have insight into God's commands and promises. You, therefore, come before Him, entreating Him in supplication that He would grant your request. He hears your cry of faith and He knows that you are attentive to and consider everything He says. You have distinguished yourself because you want Him to instruct and teach you in His ways.
You also approach Jehovah to ask Him to show you favor and mercy. You need Him to be gracious in showing you consideration. When you come into His presence, you want Him to bend down and incline His ears in your direction. You know that if He turns towards you and clears away any distractions, then you will receive what you desire.
You know that the Lord your God has snatched you out of the enemy's hands. He has rescued and delivered you. He has stripped and plundered your enemies. No trouble can continue to hold on to you. You have been released from sin and guilt; you have been torn away from the jaws of death. All of this comes about through the power of Adonai's word.
