God Satisfies Longing Soul
Backgrounder on Psalm 60-66:
In this segment, we read five
psalms of lament (Psalm 60, 61,
63-65; watch for the cry: O God)
in which the psalmist stands
upon the promises of God
in the face of discouragement,
deceit and defeat. Through it all
the psalmist finds that God is
praiseworthy refuge(Ps 62,66).
Lord, we will Seek after You:
O God, You are my God,
earnestly I Seek You;
my soul Thirsts for You,
my whole being Longs for You,
in a dry and parched land where
there is no water (Psalm 63:1-2).
Your Unfailing Love is
better to me than life itself;
how I praise you! I will honor
You as long as I live, lifting up
my hands to You in prayer (v3-4).
My soul shall be satisfied…
and my mouth shall praise You…
When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on U in the night watches.
Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of
Your Wings I will rejoice (v5-7).
Lord, Your word promises that You
will Satisfy those who Seek You.
Help me to want Your presence
in my life more than anything else.
Help me long more of You the way
I will long for water in the desert.
Help me come to You to quench 
Spiritual Thirst as only You can do.
Flow Your rivers of living water
into me to revive my soul and then
flow thru me to a dry world. Amen.
Lord, grateful for the promise that
those who seek You will find You.
Draw me by Your Spirit to truly
experience Your loving-kindness.
And I will proclaim together with
the psalmist that Your Unfailing
Love and kindness is better
than life itself. As long as I live,
I will honor You and praise You,
lifting up my hands to You. Amen.
Lord, as we grow older, we realise
that life’s greatest treasures
are Intimacy with You God.
Help us Lord to make Time
with You a priority so that we
can experience joy for God
Satisfies those who Long for Him.
For You Lord have been my help
and I will rejoice in You. Amen.
