A Prayer—of Hunger & Thirst for God
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name, through Jesus Christ I will lift up my heart to you in prayer. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the day and the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; the one at your right hand, Jesus, upholds me. They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth. They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
But the king, our Lord Jesus, will rejoice in God; and all who swear by God’s name in Christ will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
In Christ Name I Pray
Amen
Psalm 63
