Desires

[He] satisfies your desires with good things”

Psalm 103:5

According to the preacher in Ecclesiastes, God has placed eternity in the hearts of man (Ecc. 3:11). We are prone to seek and desire more of what life has to offer, but we will never be satisfied or filled up by people or things, which is why we are left wanting more. Only he can fill us.

Lord, let your holy presence fill our lives today. As a sacrifice we give to you all we’ve tried to use to become full: money, control, food, alcohol, people, power, status, image, pleasure, and all additional we are unaware of. Burn away everything that is not you as it will only leave us broken and wanting more. Fill us full today, and teach us to desire only that which can satisfy.
