I have mentioned before that I regularly listen to the Jesuit podcast, Pray as You Go. It is a 10 minute daily devotional done in a guided Lectio Divina format (spiritual reading). I encourage you to check it out. You can do that here.
At any rate, the opening question in yesterday’s podcast was this, “Can you feel that thirst within you that only God can quench?”
I had to wrestle with this question. I am not sure that I can, at least not on a regular basis. Sure, there are times when I am sensitive to God’s leading in my life and to the desire that I have to be guided. But on a daily basis, I have to admit that I get wrapped up in doing what I think “has” to be done and neglect the fact that I should be more focused on what God wants me to do. I should thirst for God as if my life depended on it because it does.
Do you ever find yourself in this situation? Perhaps you are there today.
If so, here is my prayer for us today:
Father, you know that we love you – that we desire to be loved by you. But so often we get busy in our routine and neglect to truly seek after you. Fill each of us today with an insatiable desire and thirst for you – for more of you! May we not be able to truly rest unless it is in you!
Amen
May you be satisfied today by the Living Water!
