Come drink freely!

When the poor and needy are dying of thirst and cannot find water, I, the Lord God of Israel, will come to their rescue. I won’t forget them. ~ Isaiah 41:17 (CEV)

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”
Everyone who hears this should say, “Come!”
If you are thirsty, come! If you want life-giving water, come and take it. It’s free! ~ Revelation 22:17 (CEV)
Generous God,

THANKS: Thank you for quenching so many different types of thirst. You provide for those who are physically thirsty, emotionally thirsty, and spiritually thirsty. You provide. 

REGRETS: I don't always turn to you as fast as I should. Sometimes I let myself get thirsty and start acting strangely before I recognize that I need water.

INTERCESSION: Please prompt me to drink deeply even before I realize that I need a drink.

PURPOSE: I'm going to drink freely!

Amen.
