Oscillating on the river

Thought I'd try out a long word!
Thanks to all who have recently started reading and emailng me to say you're there. (try commenting, it's safe and easy!)
muchos appreciated.

Had a good prayer time Sunday morning, normally Sunday morning around 7am is HEELLLPPP prayer time. God give me answers/inspiration/love/energy.

A mate had a word on Friday night... It's through INTIMACY that we INTIMIDATE the enemy.
just loved that, so Sunday morning I told God I didn't want to talk about the service I wanted Him.
Turns out that was a great idea.

We enjoyed each others company for a while and then I felt Him bring a book to mind (I'm in a reading season it seems, oh and try Land of Hope and Glory by Bruce Atkinson, v. inspiring) which is now on the panel to the left, Tozer ends each chapter with a prayer. I'm going to paraphrase each one as my own each day for as long as it takes to run out.
Join in! for me and you.


O God,
I have tasted and seen how good you are.
I am satisfied but I'm thirsty for more!
I'm in pain over my continuing need for your grace.
I'm ashamed of my lack of passion and desire.
God, Father, Jesus, Spirit,
I want to want you.
I long for longing to overcome me,
I thirst to be thirstier,
Show me your Glory so that I can see you more and know you more.
Be merciful to me and begin in me a new work of love in me.
I need to hear in my soul the words, "arise my fair one and come away."
Then I can rise from this misty wasteland where I have wasted too much time.
In Jesus name,
Amen
