John 4:10 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
We drink water every day because we need to. Some days, hard work or illness may leave us with a thirst that we cannot seem to quench. So too, does the quenching of our spiritual thirst for peace sometimes seem an impossible task. Sometimes, we miss the answer because we seek satisfaction in the things of this life, instead of looking to Jesus, the only one who can quench our spiritual thirst.
Lord, all of my life I have chased after peace and satisfaction. My thirst has led me to some dark and painful places. Thank You for opening my eyes to the answer that You have set before me. Thank You for sending Jesus to make me whole in You and satisfy my thirst that could not be quenched any other way. In Jesus’ name, amen.
