Thirst for God
Week 1 · Saturday · Psalm 42: As the Deer Longs for Water
For today
This psalm longs for God and, in the same breath, argues with its own sadness. You can do both today; the longing is itself a kind of prayer.
Begin with these verses
verse 1As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God. verse 2My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.
