Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: 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 for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I
long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. (The
Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer)
Scripture Reading for the Day: Psalm 63:1-8
Reading for Reflection:
Passion is the torrent of
desire that lives within us all. It
propels us into life and, if we choose, to God.
It is the inner craving for the rich, intimate exchanges of love— the
drive to experience ourselves and our relationships deeply and fully.....The
whole bundle of our longings— from sex to solitude, and from making money to
studying the Bible—is a part of our passion.
All longings are a sign of God's life and call to experience God deeply.
(The River Within by Jeff Imbach)

Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Teach me to seek you,
for I cannot seek you unless you teach me, or find you unless you show yourself
to me. Let me seek you in my desire, and
desire you in my seeking. Let me find
you by loving you, let me love you when I find you.
~St. Anselm
