A Yearning for Spiritual Growth and Divine Connection

Luke 12: 32 It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. John 16: 24 Until now you have aksed nothin in My Name. Ask, and you will receive, tht your joy may be full.

In anticipation of the year ahead, I find myself seeking the Lord's guidance for a profound spiritual journey. My heartfelt desire is to encounter the Holy Spirit, igniting a transformative change within me, dispelling negativity from my heart, and breathing life into seemingly impossible situations. My aspirations extend beyond personal growth; I earnestly pray for blessings upon my family, friends, and professional endeavors. May the Lord's favor encompass my husband, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, mother, stepfather, sister, brother, and dear friends. Additionally, I hope to be an invaluable asset to my employer, contributing to the company's success while expanding my knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Despite the excitement, a tinge of fear accompanies these hopes. I acknowledge my longing for a profound, life-changing walk in faith with God. My desire is not for calamity, divorce, or death, but for a Holy Spirit-inspired awakening, renewing my vision, dreams, and ultimately, my destiny. With unwavering faith, I declare God as my healer, redeemer, deliverer, strength, and shelter. As I approach the evening, I surrender my fatigue, stress, and burdens to the Lord, seeking renewed strength and release from life's pressures. In this moment, I affirm my proximity to the Lord, drawing close as promised in James 4:8. My soul yearns for a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, seeking to know Him in every conceivable way. I reject the notion of being "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Timothy 3:7). Lord, reveal the truth about who You are, for I know You are near to those who call upon You in truth (Psalm 145:18). I open myself to Your work within me, desiring to eliminate anything that hinders my time in Your presence. Let my prayers align with Your will and deepen my understanding of You. In the dryness of my spiritual thirst, I heed Your invitation, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink" (John 7:37). I come to You, longing for a deeper manifestation of Your presence, yearning to dwell in Your sacred space like never before.
