Daily Prayer - Hungry hearts

Good Monday morning, my friends.

 

How many of you remember a Bruce Springsteen song called "Hungry Hearts"?  One of the verses says: 

Everybody needs a place to rest

Everybody wants to have a home

Don't make no difference what nobody says

Aint nobody like to be alone

 

Everybodys got a hungry heart...

 

Ain't that the truth?  It has been said that the difference between physical hunger and spiritual hunger is that you have to start feeding the spiritual hunger before you even realize you are hungry.  Is your hungry heart being fed properly?  Spend some time today feeding it from the Word and spend time this week in a church that serves up an all-you-can-eat buffet.

 

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

 

 

Father, we thank You for Godly messengers who faithfully feed Your children by diligently teaching the whole counsel of Your Holy Word.

 

Some attend church with an intense spiritual hunger, while others may come out of a sense of duty and still some to be seen by others.

 

Give us a hungry heart that yearns for more of You so that our lives are set apart to honor and glorify Jesus Christ in all that we do.

 

May we be attentive to Your life-transforming truths as You impart them to our hearts in our personal devotions and through Your anointed messengers.

 

In Jesus' name we pray.  

 

Amen.
