Day 71, 10 weeks 1 day Thirsty

My body longs for many things these days, Lord - a good night's sleep, protein, energy, chocolate, and LOTS of water!  The demands of nursing sometimes causes me to drink several full glasses in a row, almost desperately. Yet, what does my soul long for?   You, even when I don't acknowledge it. "My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Where can I go and meet with God?" (Psalm 42:2). It feels like there is no alone, uninterrupted time to find my fill of You, Lord. I spend my days and nights in service to my family, finding it hard to free myself to open Your Word.  After a few days of neglect, however, "my soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You in a dry and weary land where there is no water" (Psalm 63:1).  Help me not to forsake what I need most in effort to meet my baby's needs. I need You.

Tip: Short daily devotionals in each bathroom, scripture on the mirrors and inside cabinet doors, bracelets with scripture - all these help to remind me of God's presence and truth even when I can't open the Bible all day.
