Jesus Listens
February 20 My loving Lord,
S
atisfy me in the morning with Your unfailing Love, that I may sing for Joy and be glad all my days. I have sought satisfaction in a variety of
ways, many of which were hurtful. I’ve discovered that even good things can fail to satisfy me if I elevate them above You. So I come to You this
morning with my emptiness and my longings. As I sit quietly in Your
Presence, communing with You, I ask You to fill me up to the full with
Your limitless Love. I delight in pondering how wide and long and high and deep is this vast ocean of blessing!
Finding my satisfaction in You above all else provides a firm foundation for my life. By building on this solid foundation, I can be joyful and confident
as I go through my days. I know I’ll continue to encounter hardships because I live in such a terribly broken world. Yet I can count on You to
guide me along my way as I cling to You in trusting dependence. Lord, You make my life meaningful and satisfying while I’m traveling toward my ultimate goal—the gates of Glory!
In Your glorious Name, Jesus,
