Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

God Who Listens

Sung by Chris Tomlin

Lyrics:

God Who Listens

The God who made the winters and the summers
The One who put the stars all in their place
The only One who stands above all others
He knows me by name

The angels hide their faces in His presence
The demons run for cover when You speak
You rule the world and reign above the heavens
And still draw close to me

When I close my eyes I know that
I’m not just hoping, I’m not just wishin’
I know I’m praying to a God who listens
I know He hears me, I know He’s livin’
Yes I am praying to a God who listens

He walks with me and leads me by still waters
I lay my troubles down at His feet
It’s amazing the Savior and the Father
He is a friend to me
How can it be

Who knows me
Who loves me
Who never will fail me
Who tells me that I am his own
And You surround me
Remind me
You always are for me
So I come boldly to Your throne

I’m not just hoping, I’m not just wishin’
Yes I’m praying to a God who listen
Oh what a promise that we’ve been given
Yes we are praying to a God who listens 


“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.”  Isaiah 43:1
