O the bliss of those who hunger and thirst for all that sets them right with God, for they shall be satisfied to the full. Matthew 5:6 (Barclay)

Dear Fellowship of the Burning Heart:

This is the last blog post for the week and I thought I would end the week with a prayer I came across that I hope expresses the desire of those who are following me in this adventure.

The following prayer comes from a book entitled Growing Your Soul by Neil B. Wiseman, p. 11.

Oh, the incredible appetite I have for growing a great soul.

Today, I hunger for more of You. I seek You with my whole self – my mind, my will, my emotions. In the midst of these confusing times, I long to know You better. I hunger for a holy life to make me spiritually whole and healthy. I am anxious to grow a great soul.

What
a worthwhile aim.
a glorious hope.
an adventuresome possibility.
an opportunity for partnership with You.

(Complete this prayer for yourself)

To make it happen in my inner world,
Free me from…
Enable me to become…
And tear down every hindrance in me, such as…
I open my whole life to Your will and Your promise. Amen.
