READ PSALM 42
“By day the Lord commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life." PSALM 42:8
- Do you ever feel spiritually thirsty? Do you ever desire more of God? Do you ever ask God where He is?
- That is exactly what we see in Psalm 42. How does the psalmist phrase it in verse 1?
- How is our need for God highlighted by likening it to our hunger and thirst?
- In verse 5 The psalmist asks themselves a question – write it down?
- What is the immediate response?
- No matter what, our hope is in God alone! In verse 8 we see a reminder of who we are putting our hope in. Write down the way God is described.
- El Hayyay is the “God of my life”. What does it mean to you to make the Almighty Father the God of my life?
- Is there something that you are hungering or thirsting for more than God. Pray about it and ask God to help you make Him your satisfaction!

I had never heard this song before today – but tears flowed as I listened. We need you Lord…
Lord may look to you alone to satisfy our hunger. May you fill our thirsty souls with more of you! May you be always El Hayyay – the God of our life. We are kingdom citizens – help us to remember this as you pour yourself into us through your Spirit. We need you Lord – “Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.” (Psalm 33:22) Amen….
