O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Truine God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirstly still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my sould, 'Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.' Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen.
A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
I love it when you're longing for words to express how you're feeling, and though the Spirit groans inwardly and expresses to the father in words we don't even know what we need - its a blessing and an assurance to read, and pray the words that have no doubt been prayed by many before me, and even better when you just at the right time read just the right words and prayer that you need to pray. Thanks to God for knowing what I need before I even know it - may I be truly passionate, and more and more as the Day approaches to see all people whom I love; to know the Father and be saved through what the Son Jesus has done for us all!
