Hunger for God ( Prayer )

  • Hunger for God- John Piper
    Pray that God would be what we hunger for most
    His goodness shines with brightest rays when we delight in all his ways
    His glory overflows its rim when we are satisfied in him
    His radiance will fill the earth when people revel in his worth
    The beauty of God’s holy fire Burns brightest in the heart’s desire
    Whom have I have in Heaven but thee?
    And there is nothing upon earth that I desire besides thee
    My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart
    and my portion for ever, Ps 73

    Pray we would understand the meaning of fasting- our deep homesickness for God
    Pray we would have a deep hunger and appetite for God
    Pray that our physical appetite would lessen as our hunger for Christ gets stronger
    Pray we long to be satiated in Christ
    Pray we see our physical satisfaction, don’t compare to Christ
    Pray we dine with Christ, enjoy the riches He has for His children.
    Pray we truly hunger for true bread, True drink.
    Pray we would give up our " simple pleasures of earth" and they would be " replaced
    an appetite for God himself."
    Pray our pleasures of life is to seek after God
    Pray we will not " substitute God for anything this world offers.
    Pray we would have " the fullness of God’s presence with all his wisdom and purifying power"

    " And many small acts of preferring fellowship with God above food can form a habit of communion and contentment that makes one ready for the ultimate sacrifice"

    Pray we questions price our hearts- " Do I really hunger for God? Do I long for Him? Or have I begun to be content with his gifts?
    Pray that our desire do not control us.
    Pray that we truly long to be " transformed into the image of Jesus Christ"
    Pray that were willing to fast, and may it expose us. All our pride, sin, anger, un forgiveness
    "I humble myself with fasting" Ps 35:13
    Pray that anger, bitterness, jealousy, strife, fear, or any other sin will be exposed.
    Pray we have greater faith, to fast.
    Pray we have a deeper "spiritual communion with God would be sweet and would flourish
    Pray in our weakness we would hunger for God even more.
    Pray Christ would be our bread. Our everything we need to live.
    Pray we would see that " fasting and eating are worship, Both magnify Christ. Both send the heart grateful and yearning to the Giver"
    Pray that our hearts might be "awaken a hunger for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy all all peoples."
    " Fasting proves the presence, and fans the flame, of that hunger"
    " The strongest, most mature Christians I have met are the hungriest for God"

    Pray we will truly be hunger for God.
    Pray we will drink "from the river of Life and eat the Bread of Heaven .
    Pray " the more we walk with Christ the, hungrier we will get for Christ and that we become more homesick for heaven, then we would want all the fullness of God"
    Pray then, " we want all the more to be done with sin, and would want the Bridegroom to come again.
    Pray we are awaken, to reality of God’s beautify
