Prayers From the Throne RoomSample

Made for God

God, everything about me was made for you and created for your presence. Having been made in your image, I know that the true longing of my heart is to know you. What a wonderfully mysterious truth that you long to know me, too, in the context of unhindered relationship! You are a good Father, and you do not hide yourself from me.

There is a deep well within me that longs to be filled by the abundant love of your heart. Fill me so I overflow with the generosity of your mercy-kindness. I enter your courts with thanksgiving in my heart, praising you for all that you have done and for all that you will do! Still, knowing you is better than any gift I could ever receive from you. You are the ultimate goal, God, for you are goodness itself. I draw close to you, trusting that you will draw even closer to me. Quench my thirst, Lord, and satisfy the longings that reach out to you with the pure pleasure of your presence. Only you can satisfy me.
