Uphold my spiritual appetite
Help me to uphold, o Lord, my spiritual appetite in every season. Let my desire to know You more never falter or suffer low intensity (Ps. 105:4NLT). Keep this appetite alive, and only then will I go through the storm successfully, simply because my eyes will be constantly focused on You. This appetite determines my survival and integrity. The fuel and essence of it remains Your Word. Hence, refresh the latter in me for on it I lean and depend. It builds my defenses and sets up the wings I soar upon to sail to the other side.
I reach the safer spot not based on my swimming prowess, rather, because carried by Your Unchanging Truth. It enlightens the path, and lifts me afloat when fiery torrents besiege me. It carries me to safety when the storm rages and threatens my survival. It speaks calmness within when restlessness besieges my heart. It dismantles fear, distills peace within, reinjects positive energy, reshapes focus, and reinvents purposeful hope. It is the fire that feeds this spiritual appetite in moments of low estate and sheer despair. It lifts the lamp that projects rays of the future, dispelling any negative mood. It leads and propels to the anchor place as echoed by the rhythm of faith.
Good Morning.
