Our souls were created with a longing to be filled. God created us to be filled with Him.
We look to the things that he created to fill our spirits rather than to the creator himself. Especially when we feel lost or alone or broken, we look to our friends (who often fail us), we look to our spouses (who can disappoint us), we look to money (and we always come up short), we look to our corporate success (and that completely stresses us out). We may even look to drugs or alcohol ourselves (I need that cigarette or I deserve that glass of wine.)
But the only thing that is truly going to fill our empty souls and the only thing that is going to truly fill our loved ones empty souls, is if we drink the living water, the source of life itself, that comes from God above.
Praying today that you would drink from the refreshing well of his love and his peace. And praying that our loved ones would do the same.
July 11, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
John 4:10-11,13-14 NIV [10] Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” [11] Where can you get this living water? [13] Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, [14] but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Good morning Father God. The words of Jesus bring hope to us this morning. You have a gift you want to give (our loved one) today. Lord, we know that if (our loved one) ask you, you will give (him/her) living water. We believe that there is only one place to get this living water. (Our loved one) can drink the water of this world and (he/she) will always be thirsty for more. But Lord, your word says that if (our loved one) drinks the water YOU give (him/her) (he/she) will never thirst again. We pray today that (our loved one) would drink the water that You give (him/her) and that it will become in (him/her) a spring of water welling up to a life of freedom! We confidently call this in to being today! In Jesus Name. Amen!
