“Sir, give me this water.”
—John 4.15
You are thirsty.
Thirsty with a thirst deeper
than mere desire or even need,
something deeper,
more life-giving.
This thirst at times disturbs you:
you spend energy,
often digging in dry wells,
often chugging a substitute.
But still you thirst.
Give thanks that your soul
knows what it needs.
It craves the grace that is life.
Blessed are you who thirst
for closeness with God.
Breath prayer:
You, my thirst . . . you, my satisfaction
