As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? Psalm 42:1-2 For those beloved suffering from a chronic illness or cancer, make your goal to wake up each morning with a hunger and thirst for God and to live each day with this desire always present in your soul. Will we desire God as the Psalmist desired him? Will we be like the deer, panting for streams of rich delight in the presence of our God?
