I long for you

Lord, I long for you.

Will you saturate my soul,

the way the rain is saturating the earth?

Will you renew my mind the way you are renewing the plants outside?

Lord, make me new?

Cause my life to grow and bear fruit like you do with the plants?

Cause me to blossom like the jacarandas in the streets?

Cause my brain to function perfectly like the rest of your creation?

You said that you take care of the birds and the wildflowers,

will you take care of me too?

Without you I am lost.

Without you I am nothing.

Outside you, there is no real reason.

Outside you, there is nothing that really counts.

Without you, I will dry like a wildflower in the wind.

I need you, today more than ever.

Lord I long for you,

I long for your sustenance.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen
