As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for
you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear
before God?
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day
long, “Where is your God?”
These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would
go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil
within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of
Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your
waves have gone over me.
By day the Lord commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a
prayer to the God of my life. I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me?
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil
within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
Our Father never
forgets or abandons us.
My prayer
for us today is that we would learn to thirst and yearn for Him even when we
are distressed and confused because we know Him and His character.
And that
always leads us to not only desire His presence but remember His provision and
care for us.
