READ Psalm 63
Spiritual thirst is satisfied only by spiritual intimacy with God.

INSIGHT
There is a God-shaped vacuum in every human heart. Man was made for God, and his soul will be restless until it finds its rest in Him. Our longings for love, relationships, belonging, security, meaning, purpose, and identity are ultimately met only in the Lord Jesus Christ. We find temporary fulfillment in the pursuit of people, possessions, and circumstances; but eventually, these will pass away or we will change and they will no longer satisfy. We have been made for God, and we will find our deepest longings met only in Him. Make David´s prayer your own prayer for spiritual fulfillment.

PRAYER
It is amazing to think that the Creator of the universe desires a relationship with us. Praise God for His love:
The instruction of the Lord is perfect,
Renewing one’s life;  
The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy,
Making the inexperienced wise.  
The precepts of the Lord are right,
Making the heart glad;  
The command of the Lord is radiant,
Making the eyes light up (Psalm 19:7-8).

As you seek to keep your life free from sin, pray this confession to God:
Who perceives his unintentional sins?
Cleanse me from my hidden faults.  
Moreover, keep your servant from willful sins;  
Do not let them rule me. Then I will be blameless
And cleansed from blatant rebellion (Psalm 19:12-13).

Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind, and pray this affirmation to the Lord:
The fear of the Lord is pure,
Enduring forever;  
The ordinances of the Lord are reliable
And altogether righteous.  
They are more desirable than gold —
Than an abundance of pure gold;  
And sweeter than honey
Dripping from a honeycomb.  
In addition, your servant is warned by them,
And in keeping them there is an abundant reward
(Psalm 19:9-11).

As you make your requests known to the Lord, include:

• Peace in the midst of difficult circumstances
• The various ministries of your church
• Spiritual growth for family members

Offer this closing prayer to the Lord:
May the words of my mouth
And the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable to you,  
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer
(Psalm 19:14).
