My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? Psalms 42:2 As water is essential for physical life, so God and his presence are essential for satisfaction and wholeness of life. We must not allow anything to diminish our intense desire for the things of God... Beware of this....Lord I pray that my longing for God and his presence might be strengthened, in my life. My love for the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit might be greater, and my passion to see the fullness of Christ's kingdom and righteousness might be deepened until I cry out to him day and night in a heartfelt thirst, even as the deer pants for streams of water in times of my drought.
