REFLECT (Reread it):
• The psalmist starts with seeking: "O God, I seek you." That's where prayer begins—with the decision to
look for God.
• Notice the physical language: thirsts, faints, flesh. Seeking God isn't just intellectual—it's a deep human
need.
• "My soul thirsts for you, as in a dry and weary land where no water is." Have you ever felt spiritually dry?
Empty? Searching?
• The psalmist remembers past help: "You have been my help." Even if you're starting, you might look
back and see moments when you felt held or guided.
RESPOND (Talk to God):
If you're beginning to pray, tell God that. Say, "I'm not sure how to do this" or "I'm here, trying." Tell Him what
brought you to this moment. What are you seeking? What do you hope to find?
REST:
Close your eyes. Imagine being in a dry land and finding water. Let yourself be thirsty for something real,
something true. Rest in the idea that seeking itself is prayer.
