I wrote this a while ago, I was praying that God would give me a hunger and recently He has touched me, I felt like I did when I had first gotten saved. I'm seeing more and more how much He loves me, desires me and I can't help but love Him more. He has put in me a desire to settle for nothing less than the complete work of His Spirit in my life, I love to whisper to Him that I belong to Him because He loves it. I know that growth doesn't take place on the mountain tops but after months of a valley it was a welcomed respite and a renewing of my zeal for Him. If any of you are at a time when God simply seems silent, no trials, no intense experiences I encourage you to pray for hunger. You may seem to be waiting on God but it may very well be that He is waiting to hear you say, "draw me, and I will come running after You."



Will the silence
test me more than
the giants?

Against the giants
You guided me.

Gave me specific stones
for my sling
my strength, I knew
was in You.

Now
I have come to silence,
to stillness.

Here,
I must pray
for hunger
lest I erect idols
or be satisfied and
gloat over slain giants.

Let my soul
rest only in You
and not slip into the
comfort of the stillness.
