Day 1

O God, I have tasted Your goodness,
and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace.
I am ashamed of my lack of desire.
O God, the Triune God,

I want to want You;
I long to be filled with longing;
I thirst to be made more thirsty still.
Show me Your glory, I pray,
so I may know You indeed.

Begin in mercy a new work of love within me...
Give me grace to rise and follow You up from this misty lowland
where I have wandered so long.

—A.W. Tozer

My prayer is, God helping us, that the next 40 days would be an awakening for all of us.

An awakening to desiring, longing for, and thirsting after God in a new way

An awakening to the presence of his GRACE and MERCY in our lives

An awakening to the new work of love that God wants to do in each of our hearts

Slowly read again the above prayer and give it to God as your own as you begin this 40 day journey.
