Prayer Journal – Week 2

Dear Lord,

     I often feel like I rush from work to pleasure, never stopping for anything of substance. Sometimes, I catch myself and I ask, “Does life offer more than this?” I know now this is the hunger you have placed in my life for spiritual things.

(Philippians 2:4, 4:5-6)

     I know that my spiritual hunger needs to be fed. I know it is more than just having a two minute devotional between the work and the pleasures of my life. I know I need to find ways to integrate spiritual principles into my work and play.     AMEN

Prayer Journal – Week 1

Dear Lord,      We live in an age of information. It is at our fingertips. I can ask a question and my device tells me the answer. But all the knowledge and wisdom the world has given me hasn’t satisfied the hunger in my soul. I consistently crave for something more, yet I am rarely satisfied.      Sometimes, I wonder if there is more. Have you placed me down here and just dangled the carrot in front of me? Will I ever find fulfillment? Is life meaningless or is it joyful?      (Read and reflect on Psalm 139:1-3 and Philippians 1:6)      You have told me you know me and know what I long for. You have told me to that you are committed to finishing your work in me. So I give you this time to teach me. Help me as I write to express myself honestly. Help me to sit and listen to what you say to me. Satisfy the hunger you put in me.               AMEN
