Overwhelmed

“I long to drink of you, oh God, to drink deeply from the streams of pleasure flowing from your

presence. My longings overwhelm me for more of you. My soul thirst, pants, and longs for the living

God. I want to come and see the face of God.” Psalm 42:1-2

We love the presence of God. The anointing of God, the fire of God, the glory of God. We can never get

enough. His presence changes us. He empowers us to accomplish purpose and change atmospheres. His

glory brings joy, peace, and transformation. Overwhelm us God, we want more! We want more of his

character in our lives so that others are drawn to want more of Him. We want more of His voice in our

cars. More of His glory in our spirit. More of Him in our minds and our emotions. More of Him in our

marriages, our families, our homes. More of His presence in our church, our community, or workplace.

More of his answers to our prayers. More of His praise in our mouth. More of His mercy and compassion

in our hands and feet. So, we pursue God, we seek him first. We fast, pray, and read His Word. We

desire Him above all else. We surround ourselves with others in the fruit of their encounters in His

presence.

God, we are grateful for all you have already given, but we long for more. God, you be at the heart of

everything we are and do. You have all our attention! Your heart is what we are living for. We want to

be completely overwhelmed in You, the living God!
