Lord, it's true - the more I get to know you
the more I need
the more I want
diminish this need for self-satisfaction
and increase hunger for you

These days, the prayer that has been on the tip of my tongue has been "open the eyes of my heart".
I cannot wake myself up to see the majesty of God, I cannot shake this slumbering heart to desire and live in anticipation of the kingdom of God. I cannot will myself to love God above myself.

I can, however, ask God to give me more of the Holy Spirit.
His presence moves doubt, breaks strongholds, redeems the past, reminds me of his moment-by-moment grace, calls me to greater levels of intimacy.

I feel it to the core of my being - the cry of my spirit and being is to worship God and to live this life in deep communion with him.
