Thirsty


 Thirsty


The earth is thirsty Lord

cracked

dry

brown

dying

crying out for rain.


The oaks are thriving Lord

tall

green

growing

roots plunged down deep

finding life-giving water.



I am thirsty Lord

empty

dry

stagnant

longing for Your touch.


Cultivate my heart Lord

prune

cleanse

fill

draw

that I might put down roots

and find living water.


“And the Lord will continually guide you,
And satisfy your [a]desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.”

Isaiah 58:11
