A Prayer to Starvation for the Lord – Your Day-to-day Prayer

A Prayer to Starvation for the Lord
By Emily Rose Massey

“Blessed are these who starvation and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” (Matthew 5:6, ESV).

A short while ago, countrywide information and social media have included the “revivals” breaking out on college campuses close to the United States. Though some are hesitant to officially place that label on what has been going on, numerous youthful individuals and hundreds of other Christians traveled far and broad to these campuses. They have been seeking the Lord and lifting large His Holy identify in worship and prayer in a person voice non-halt for days on stop. Several have knowledgeable the manifested existence of God, which has been explained as indescribable peace and pleasure. A person student’s testimony, shared on social media, read through: “This is not hoopla. This is everyday folks crying out who are hungry for a go of God!”

It’s vital to remember, the fruit of a go of God isn’t usually about encounters with tangible peace or joy in a worship company, or the quantity of folks gathered. Getting hungry for God goes outside of attending revival meetings. Finally, accurate proof of starvation in a Christian’s lifetime can be viewed when a believer has an insatiable urge for food for in search of Christ and His righteousness. In the sermon on the Mount, Christ tells us:

“Blessed are individuals who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” (Matthew 5:6, ESV).

Certainly, there is considerably exhilaration centered about significant gatherings in the title of Jesus Christ, catching the consideration of the environment. But I believe it is crucial to comprehend that one particular does not have to travel miles and miles to a unique party or convention, nor obtain with countless numbers of other believers, to experience this type of starvation for the Lord. God can revive your coronary heart to pursue Him and His strategies wherever you are in the entire world. All you should do is ask Him to stir your coronary heart for that starvation and thirst. The additional you start out to say no to the environment and your flesh and sure to Christ and His righteous ways, the additional the Holy Spirit will draw you into a lifetime of devotion to the Lord. Most generally, God begins to do His do the job in our hearts and life when we retain our minds fastened on His Term. His Word renews our minds and transforms our life to mirror His techniques over our own. We simply cannot stir up a starvation in our have strength, we require God’s enable. We should petition God and request Him to fortify our desires for living much more Christlike. He promises to bless us and satisfy us.
