A Dry and Weary Land

“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

God where are you? I need you. Over the past few years that has been my heart cry and like King David, since I have seen the power of God I will trust. Psalm 63 reveals the anguish of one in the wilderness but it also reveals the trust that same one in the wilderness has for God.

I know that some of you reading this are traveling through the wilderness right now. This might sound strange but enjoy the journey. Why? This a time of growth, a time of trusting that the One who made you is bringing you to a new and better place. Growth is painful, but it brings beauty to the wilderness and brings the kind of faith the moves mountains, calms storms and allows us to walk on water.

If you are not in the wilderness right now, you probably know someone who is – walk with them for a while and encourage them on the journey - to see the beauty of the wilderness.

A prayer
Father – it can be so easy to get discouraged in the wilderness, thank you for being there even when we are not aware of Your presence. Help us to blossom into who You desire us to be. Thank you for those who encourage us and help us to encourage others. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
