Today’s Scripture: Psalm 143:6 ESV: I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah
I feel David’s soul. I feel his pleas to the LORD. Do you NEED the Lord to hear your prayers? Read Psalm 143. This is one of my favorite chapters in God’s Word; heart wrenching, soul reaching words that awaken my spirit to reach out with my heart and my hands to the LORD.
This chapter only has twelve verses yet I have captured over sixty affirmations so far that prosper my soul. Yes my soul thirsts for God and He brings my soul out of trouble.
Just as David we can experience God’s Spirit and know His love. We can hear God’s love in the morning and He will show us the way to go if we lift up our soul to Him. Lifting our souls with a great thirst brings wonderful refreshment.
What do you thirst for? Can you pause and reflect on the LORD today? Selah.
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, I praise You and stretch out my hands and soul to You. Thank You for Your Word and your servant David. My soul knows You and I pray my mind will trust Your Spirit and Your direction. You are my God and my soul thirsts for You. Please guide and protect my life so that I will prove useful as Your servant. Amen

Amen Tom. I am praying this with you. My heart needs God desperately, more so when I don’t feel the need than when I do feel the need.
Thank you for praying with me Joseph! I believe I replied via my phone but noticed those replies do not show up here so not sure they went anywhere:) In our desperation and thirsts God is so faithful isn’t He? I pray to know my need for Him more and more. Blessings as your soul thirsts for the LORD.
Oh that’s good. We so often deny our need in favor of our wants!
Amen Joseph, thank you! Blessings as you thirst.
