Psalm 42:1

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.
A man in a checked shirt praying in a church, hands clasped together.

Lord, I am searching for meaning and peace that only You can provide. Like a deer in a dry land, I am desperate for Your presence. Forgive me for the times I have settled for mud puddles when I could have had Your mountain streams. I turn my heart toward You this Monday morning—be my strength and my satisfaction as I start this new week. Amen.
