>O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for 
>you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
>--Psalm 63:1
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>Addiction has been defined as "God-hunger directed to the wrong 
>source of soul satisfaction." Psalm 63 reminds us this is true. Deep 
>in us is a desire to seek after God because he is not far from us 
>and longs to be known by us (see Acts 17). But often when our 
>soul-craving need for God is greatest, he is the last place we turn 
>for satisfaction.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Holy Father, fill my heart with longing for you and my head with 
>understanding that it is your presence I crave. I confess that I 
>have often sought relief for my hunger in things that do not 
>satisfy. I pledge today to recognize all other sources of 
>satisfaction to be temporary and false. I promise to pursue you and 
>your will through your word and your Spirit until I rest in your 
>presence and grace. In the power of Jesus my Lord, Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
