I NEED YOU MORE

PRAYER JOURNAL 2/19/19

Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for you, Oh God.

This morning I woke with this song running through my head,

♪♪“I need you more, more than yesterday

I need you more than words can say,

I need you more than ever before

I need you Lord, I need you Lord.

More than the air I breathe, more than the song I sing

More than the next heartbeat, more than anything.

And Lord as time goes by, I’ll be by your side

Cause I never want to go back to my old life.” ♪♪

OH HOW I NEED HIM.  I always have but as the pages on the calendar continue to turn and the number of years continues to grow, I realize, I NEED HIM MORE! 

I NOT ONLY NEED HIM MORE; I DESIRE HIM MORE!

He grows sweeter in my life and I crave His Presence.  “My soul pants after You.”  I yearn for those times in prayer, when God is so near, I can literally breathe in the sweet fragrance of His Presence…HE BECOMES THE AIR I BREATHE.

Like a New Song, His Word speaks hope, encouragement, His love, mercy and grace to all my shattered pieces…HE BECOMES THE SONG I SING.

He whispers His love to me and my heart begins to beat in unison with His heart…HE BECOMES MY NEXT HEARTBEAT.

The reality of Jesus, His love, His promises, His guiding hand through the maze of life, His peace in desperate situations, His provision for my needs, His sacrifice for my salvation, His faithfulness for a lifetime fills my world…HE BECOMES MY EVERYTHING.

OH HOW I NEED HIM, OH HOW I LOVE HIM!
