Pursuing the Presence: More of You

Scripture

"As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God."

Psalm 42:1-2

Prayer

I need You, God.

I am broken.
Bind me up with Your healing touch.

I am empty.
Fill me up with Your Spirit.

I am thirsty.
Satisfy me with Your living water.

I am hungry.
Let me feast on Your word.

I am dead.
Make me live by Your breath of life.

I am weak.
Eclipse my weakness with Your grace.

I am sinful.
Purify me by your purifying fire.

I feel alone. I can't see you, I can't touch you. You seem so distant.
Help me trust that you are here, and you are working in this.

I need You, O God! More of You, less of me.
