Psalm 107:4-9<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nQuestion:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>How often do we think about our lives in the way of fulfillment? How has God entered and filled you? In what ways are you still hungry and thirsty for God?<\/div>\n
\n


\nPrayer:<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nCreator, we need you. We know we are filled by you, and yet, we recognize those parts within our lives and within us that are lacking complete nourishment. Thank you for your presence; on this day, we offer ourselves to be open and completely filled, even those parts we cannot bear to let anyone see.<\/span><\/p>\n
