It was a rough day...

( © 2007 by Buddy Holt)

"I am thirsty Lord and my soul is dry.
Let your living water flow inside.
Wash away my worry.
Come heal my hurt.
Pour your life into me
and quench my thirst"

"Famished I come before you.
My spirit yearns,
for the bread from heaven.
My hunger burns.
Come and fill me Jesus.
Restore my soul.
Only You prepare a table
that makes me whole"

"For they that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up on wings as eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."


" I eagerly seek you.
I thirst for You;
my body faints for You
in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.
So I gaze on You in the sanctuary
to see Your strength and Your glory.

My lips will glorify You
because Your faithful love is better than life.

So I will praise You as long as I live;
at Your name, I will lift up my hands.

You satisfy me as with rich food;
my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.

When, on my bed, I think of You,
I meditate on You during the night watches

because You are my help;
I will rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.

I follow close to You;
Your right hand holds on to me."

Honey,
I picture you in a dry river bed on your knees praying to God for rain. I know that it will come soon. I pray with you; knowing that God is faithful and good. Rain will come and so will your renew strength. He is good to take us to the desert so that we can remember just how much we need the water and manna that we can find only in His presence.
I love you.

Buddy,

"To the faint He giveth power
Thro’ the mountains makes a way
Findeth water in the desert
Turns the night to golden day

In temptation He is near thee
Holds the pow’rs of hell at bay
Guides you to the path of safety
Gives you grace for everyday

He will keep thee while the ages
Roll thro’out eternity
Tho’ earth hinders and hell rages
All must work for good to thee"

("Yes, I Know!"

--Words to one of the songs I thought about tonight...I'm praying them for you. You are such a faithful warrior for Christ. I pray that God will send you much deserved rest and a revived spirit even today.

Your Sister,
Julie
