Yearning For God
TALKING TO GOD
Thank God that He loves you and wants to relate to you through prayer. Ask God to teach you how to pray.
DIVING IN
Make three sets of note cards with the following words on them: Grandparent, Best Friend, My Pastor, Favourite Food Stallholder and Cousin. Spread out the first stack according to the person you talk to most at the top and the person you talk to the least at the bottom. Arrange the second set in the same way, with the person you most want to be around at the top. Line the third set next to the other two, with the person you miss most at the top. Compare how similar your lists are.
GOING DEEPER
Prayer is conversing with God, who loves you and wants what is best for you. Just as you may miss a loved one when he is gone, your spirit misses God when you do not spend time talking to Him. The Bible often says that this longing to be with God is like being thirsty or hungry. Read Psalm 42:1-2: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” You can go to God in prayer and find Him, just as the deer finds water in a stream when it is thirsty.
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
- What do you think about when you are hungry or thirsty?
- How is being with God similar to being with a person you love? How is it different?
- How might you tell that your spirit is thirsty to be with God?
