What to do in the Desert

My Soul Thirsts for You
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

63:1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.

5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7 for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.

What shall I do when I'm dry, when I'm needy, when I feel like I'm in a desert?

I will look for You. I have seen You, but now I must look for you.

I will praise You. You are better than anything that I may have been chasing. Nothing else can fill my need.

I will remember You. You have not forgotten me. I may forget You, You never forget me. You've always rescued me.

I will cling to You. Because You hold me , nothing can remove me from Your hand, nothing. You are my desperate need, I won't let go because you won't let me.
