A prayer to pray now

Lord Jesus, You told the woman at the well that Your water would keep her thirsty no more. I am thirsty in so many small ways this morning. I am thirsty for sleep. I am thirsty for a quiet hour. I am thirsty for a friend's voice. I am thirsty for this day to feel different from yesterday. These small thirsts are not wrong. They are just shallow. Let me drink from the deeper well first. The shallow thirsts will stay shallow, and most of them will not be fully met this season. But the deepest thirst is met in You. Pour me a cup of that living water before I keep reaching for lesser drinks all afternoon. Your water is real. It does the deeper work that coffee cannot. Amen.
