My Soul Thirsts for You, God

What am I thirsty for on these hot, humid days? Water...lots of water. But you see, I'm not really good at drinking water. Never have been. But I keep trying to encourage myself.

Our soul thirsts too. Just as the deer thirsts for the fresh, cool water from the stream, my soul thirsts for God, the living God. Some days I'm not mindful of what my soul needs. And then there is a need, a thirst that can drop me to my knees to remind me of my need for my God. Only God can satisfy what my soul needs.

My prayer...God, draw me near to you that I may drink from the living water. Give me a thirst that keeps me coming back for more.
