As a deer pants for the streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Where can I go and meet with You?
The wells of this world leave me wanting.
I drank from them so often and so long, and yet, they left me thirsty.
LORD, You are greater than even the well I inherited from my ancestors. While their understanding of You, their walk with You satisfied them, it leaves me thirsty for more.
Why am I downcast, in my soul? Why am I so disturbed within me?
Because I need more.
So, I put my hope in You, God. I will yet praise You my Savior and my God.
Because when I drink of the water You give, I will never thirst.
The water You give me becomes a fountain of water springing up to eternal life. And then out of my belly will flow living waters, watering many.
Give me that water, Jesus, so I will never look to the wells of man again, but tell them of the water I found instead.
I put my hope in You, Jesus. I praise You, my Savior and my God. To You belongs the glory now and forever. Amen.
Prayer inspired by Psalm 42:1.
“I have no words right now.”
We’ve all been there. Life hands you a problem you can’t even put into words, much less solve. And whether you’re a longtime believer who’s discouraged, you’re new to faith in Christ or you’re wondering what this “Jesus stuff” is all about, talking with God about what you’re facing feels so far out of reach.
What if there were a way to making talking to God easier?
You may not know what to say or you may not want to pray. But if you’re overwhelmed, speechless, and confused about what to do next, Jesus wants to help you.
Got A Minute to Pray is a collection of 60 Bible-based prayers for today’s challenges like worry, anxiety, and depression.
These prayers are both powerful and practical. They connect your needs with God’s heart by echoing what God has already promised you. Because, unlike people, God always stands behind His word.
These guided prayers reduce anxiety and restore the peace you long for.
Christian prayer is not about religion. It’s a relationship with the living God. And when you have no words for what you’re facing, Jesus has plenty. So, you got a minute to pray?

Hey there Evad! I have not watched that show but I keep hearing about it. Thanks for the recommendation! And yes, I did pull from John 4 for the prayer. 😉
Staying connected is my plan. I’m sure it’s yours too!
