My soul is yearning

My soul is yearning.

I am longing for more of God. I want to feel His presence abiding all around me and deep within me. 

I want His thoughts to permeate my mind and His love to consume my emotions. 

I am yearning for an awareness of the nearness of God all the time, no matter what else is going on around me.

I long for peace. I long for contentment. I long for an inner stillness and calm that only comes when I am being held by the Lord. 

There is a peace from God that is so sublime and so beyond all comprehension and it is available to all who are still in His presence. As Hosea reminds us “Wait for your God continually” (Hosea 12:6)

While waiting before the Lord in worship and prayer, the goodness of God washes over me and says “peace be still”

If you are yearning for this as well, lay down everything, surrender it all, let go of all you are holding so tightly to, confess your sins, repent of any ungodly ways,  humbly bow in your heart before God and then as you wait, you will taste and see the goodness of the Lord. 

My soul is yearning and my God is willing to fill my soul!
