how hungry are you?

it is January 13th, 2010. every time, i consider writing a new entry, i am distracted. after i warmed up some cream of mushroom soup, i am ready to share. it is 2010. what have i done differently? i have sought God more. i have journaled more. i have talked about my feelings more. i have prayed more. i have prayed with my family more. i have worshipped with an intense hunger. i do not want the same thing in 2010. i want newness. i want to be a stronger Christian. i want to be a stronger woman of color. i want to have more dreams. i want to have more testimonies of what God has done for, through, and all around me. i am hungry.

in Matthew 5:6 Jesus teaches us that "Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

God, I pray that those who are hungry for You would seek You all their heart, mind, and soul. God I pray that You help them understand the bible that they meditate on each day. Holy Spirit teach them, remind them, and direct them as they seek to know God more through prayer, bible study, praise and worship. God perfect those things which concern them. Abba, shower them with Your love. Give them more of You God. , in Jesus' name, amen.

My prayer is that you would spend an hour each day in bible study and prayer so God may reveal to you the purpose for which you were created. God has a plan for your life. Let God be Lord, Shepherd, Saviour and Counselor today and everyday.
