A Prayer to Hunger for the Lord – Your Daily Prayer

A Prayer to Starvation for the Lord
By Emily Rose Massey

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

Not long ago, national news and social media have included the “revivals” breaking out on college or university campuses all around the United States. Though some are hesitant to formally put that label on what has been heading on, numerous young people and 1000’s of other Christians traveled much and broad to these campuses. They have been seeking the Lord and lifting high His Holy title in worship and prayer in a person voice non-stop for times on stop. Lots of have knowledgeable the manifested presence of God, which has been described as indescribable peace and pleasure. Just one student’s testimony, shared on social media, examine: “This isn’t hoopla. This is normal men and women crying out who are hungry for a transfer of God!”

It is significant to recall, the fruit of a transfer of God isn’t usually about ordeals with tangible peace or pleasure in a worship assistance, or the amount of people collected. Remaining hungry for God goes outside of attending revival conferences. Finally, legitimate evidence of starvation in a Christian’s lifestyle can be observed when a believer has an insatiable appetite for searching for Christ and His righteousness. In the sermon on the Mount, Christ tells us:

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

Genuinely, there is a great deal excitement centered about significant gatherings in the title of Jesus Christ, catching the interest of the earth. But I consider it is vital to know that just one does not have to journey miles and miles to a distinct function or convention, nor get with 1000’s of other believers, to practical experience this sort of starvation for the Lord. God can revive your heart to go after Him and His ways where ever you are in the world. All you must do is ask Him to stir your heart for that hunger and thirst. The more you start off to say no to the globe and your flesh and yes to Christ and His righteous means, the much more the Holy Spirit will draw you into a everyday living of devotion to the Lord. Most frequently, God begins to do His function in our hearts and lives when we continue to keep our minds preset on His Word. His Word renews our minds and transforms our life to mirror His ways above our possess. We can not stir up a starvation in our personal toughness, we have to have God’s help. We should petition God and ask Him to reinforce our desires for living far more Christlike. He promises to bless us and satisfy us. 

Let us pray:
Heavenly Father,
I long for my daily life to replicate You so other folks see how fantastic and excellent Your strategies are compared to the techniques of this earth that are fallen, corrupt, and void of Your best appreciate and fact. I normally fail and give into fleshly temptation, and I thank You that I have been justified and designed righteous in Your sight for the reason that of Your Son, Christ Jesus! Irrespective of my shortcomings, you however wish for me to mature and expand in my stroll. You are a God who transforms and purifies, so I request You to enable me renew my thoughts with Your Word so I can know Your good, acceptable, and great will and see my lifetime conformed to the picture of Your Son. I am asking You to give me a starvation and a thirst for righteous residing. I know I can’t conjure this up in my coronary heart I need to have Your assist. I know I do not need to have to be surrounded by 1000’s of folks or have a tangible come across in Your presence to be stirred to find You far more. You meet me wherever I am. You are faithful to do this work of sanctification in my everyday living, so thank You for strengthening me in my spiritual disciplines.
