1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

Psalm 42

Although David wrote this Psalm in what appears to be moments of struggle, you can see that he desires to find God.  God of course has not gone anywhere for it says in Deuteronomy 4:29

But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. 

The same is expressed in Jeremiah 29:13

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 

My Prayer: Lord, I KNOW you are there - yet sometimes I either ignore you or are completely disobedient to your commands.  I thank You for everything that You are and for everything that You have done for me - You have blessed me richly.  I ask of course that You forgive my sin today of not working wholeheartedly and serving my earthly masters.  Please also help me deepen my desire for You Lord Jesus.
