The other day a friend of mine said something so simple, yet so profound in prayer. As we were all about to depart for lunch, she mentioned how we have hunger pains and that in order for those pains to disappear, we satisfy our hunger through food. Then she drew a parallel. She said something like this, “Lord, allow us to have those same hunger pains for you. That when we feel those pains, we know that the only way to be satisfied is through you alone. Allow us to crave you daily.”
It was simple prayer, but it was clear and it was bold. Some days, well many days, I try to do it alone, I try to take control and continue to make the decisions of my life, but what I am still daily learning is that I need to give my control, my decisions, my daily life to the Lord. I need to crave Him daily and allow only Him to satisfy my hunger. This world will leave me empty and the pains will always return, but through the Lord and Him only will I be satisfied and full.
What are you trying to feed your hunger pains?
“Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” –Romans 12:2
