I Thirst

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.   Matthew 5:6

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”   John 4:13-14

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.   John 19:28

I thirst O Lord,

for Your wisdom and knowledge,

I hunger for Your love and peace,

I live O Lord,

for Your truth and light,

I seek Your mercy and grace;

Your words,

lie resting within my soul,

like rare and precious jewels,

perfect in every way,

shining brilliant and bright,

worth more than all the wealth

this world has to offer,

providing depth and understanding

beyond my limited comprehension,

opening my blinded eyes,

bringing new vision and hope;

deliver me O Lord,

from the evil of this eternal night,

hold my hand until the end,

help me rise above the moment,

free me from the enemy’s traps and snares,

guide my journey

along these dark and treacherous paths,

forgive my trespasses,

see past my weakness.

allow me to be a witness,

to Your never ending glory,

let my lips praise

Your righteous and holy name;

to You do I belong,

in You shall I remain,

my Lord,

my King,

my Savior,

my God,

my Everything;

I thirst O Lord,

for You.
