When you look through the psalms, over and over you see David’s thirst and hunger for God. God desires a personal relationship with us, not just a go to church and serve, but a real hunger and thirst to know him better. Pursue knowing him in a deeper way this new year. Psalm 5:3 “In the morning I will order my prayer to you and eagerly watch.” Psalm 25:5 “Lead me in your truth..for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day.” Psalm 63:1,8 “Oh God, You are my God; I shall seek you earnestly; my soul thirsts for you, my flesh yearns for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water…my soul clings to you.”

Thank you Lord, for your mercy, love, grace and strength for today. Amen

Thank You that I don’t have to wonder if You hear me. Your Word promises that You do. I bring my requests before You now, knowing You see my heart even when I struggle to find the right words. Align my desires with Your will. Teach me to trust Your timing, Your wisdom, and Your ways—especially when I don’t understand them. Help me release control and rest in the truth that You are good, attentive, and faithful. When answers feel delayed or different than expected, remind me that being heard means I am never alone. I choose faith over fear, surrender over striving, and confidence over doubt. Thank You for listening. Thank You for loving me.
