A Prayer to Hunger for the Lord – Your Daily Prayer

A Prayer to Starvation for the Lord
By Emily Rose Massey

“Blessed are all those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” (Matthew 5:6, ESV).

Not too long ago, countrywide information and social media have lined the “revivals” breaking out on college or university campuses close to the United States. Though some are hesitant to officially set that label on what has been going on, numerous younger persons and 1000’s of other Christians traveled considerably and large to these campuses. They have been trying to get the Lord and lifting large His Holy identify in worship and prayer in a person voice non-end for days on close. Numerous have experienced the manifested existence of God, which has been described as indescribable peace and pleasure. A person student’s testimony, shared on social media, go through: “This is not hoopla. This is everyday individuals crying out who are hungry for a transfer of God!”

It is vital to remember, the fruit of a shift of God is not generally about activities with tangible peace or pleasure in a worship company, or the range of men and women gathered. Becoming hungry for God goes outside of attending revival conferences. In the long run, genuine proof of hunger in a Christian’s everyday living can be found when a believer has an insatiable urge for food for looking for Christ and His righteousness. In the sermon on the Mount, Christ tells us:

“Blessed are people who starvation and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” (Matthew 5:6, ESV).

Certainly, there is considerably enjoyment centered close to huge gatherings in the name of Jesus Christ, catching the awareness of the earth. But I think it is vital to understand that one particular does not have to vacation miles and miles to a specific party or conference, nor get with 1000’s of other believers, to expertise this form of hunger for the Lord. God can revive your coronary heart to pursue Him and His means wherever you are in the planet. All you must do is talk to Him to stir your coronary heart for that starvation and thirst. The more you start to say no to the environment and your flesh and yes to Christ and His righteous means, the much more the Holy Spirit will draw you into a daily life of devotion to the Lord. Most generally, God starts to do His do the job in our hearts and lives when we hold our minds fixed on His Word. His Term renews our minds and transforms our lives to mirror His methods over our personal. We simply cannot stir up a starvation in our personal energy, we need God’s assistance. We have to petition God and talk to Him to strengthen our desires for dwelling a lot more Christlike. He claims to bless us and satisfy us. 

Let us pray:
Heavenly Father,
