Sometimes the hardest lessons are learned in the hunger.
Sometimes the blind eye can only be opened through hunger.
Sometimes the guidance needed and the requests bestowed come answered best
Through hunger.
And the only filling of this hunger is the manna of words, the very presence of Himself, the Bread of Life.
I depend on food, and not so very good ones for me way too much.
I depend on my mate too much, at times.
I depend on my feeling too much, at times.
I depend on my own time table too much, at times.
I want to be totally dependent on my Heavenly Father,
I want to be cleansed from the inside out.
I want to lay down requests that are deep in my soul, and then let it go.
And so I will let myself go into hunger to be filled up totally by Him.
Several years ago, Tuesdays were appointed times to be on the knees, tasting only what is good, the Word, Holy and Pure, sweet beyond measure. An answer came. I quit the physical hunger. Now I begin again to beseech, petition, and praise on Tuesdays only to be filled by Him. May I come to His feet, His throne of grace for you too? I would be honored to do so. If you are not comfortable to leave a comment or prayer request here, please send me a personal FB message or e-mail. ( Krbrid@aol.com ) I assure you it will stay confidential!
I did not advertise this post on FB. I prayed, asking the Lord to send here for this one whoever He chose. If you want to quietly leave, that is fine.
May God bless you abundantly with His filling.

You blessed my heart this morning! I have been praying for the past couple of weeks that the Lord would make me hungry, desperate for HIM. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Thank you Jenn. May He fill you with His sweet, sometimes convicting words, His sweet presence, and His sweet, sweet, unconditional love! :)
Hi Kristin
I wanted to tell you that I'm doing the same thing on Fridays and I post a Prayer Request on the Thursday before so people can add their intentions. I hope you don't mind but I'm mentioning this on my blog so others can see and send in their requests to you as well.
I'm currently praying for these people, if you'd like to add their names I'm sure they would be grateful:
Mandy ,Dawn, Marsha, Tara, Sonya and Jenn.. all facing different trials. For my own daughter in college.. Brianna and for another friends two children in college.. Alyssa and Ryan.
Please feel free to pass on anybody you'd like me to pray for as well. I'd be happy to add them to my prayer list.
Thanks so much and may God bless your efforts.
Love & Blessings
Whenevr I hear or read of someone who is this "hungry" to see and to hear the Lord in their life, I just say a prayer of thanks and gratitude right then and there. That kind of sensitivity is rare these days. There is so much noise and busy-ness out there that we just don't even know what it is to be hungry, to want cleansing, and to know Him and His will for us. Some of those prayers are hard ones. To say that you want to be totally dependant on Him. I thought I was, believe me, until the day came when I was facing chemo treatments, loss of a business, loss of everything in my life. I don't know where the Lord will take you, but I want you to know that I truly learned that all that I have is all that I need. He saw to that. And since going through it all, I can testify here that it was worth it just to learn that He is sufficient and keeps His word and does all that He says He will do. God sees your heart, your deepest desire to grow into a woman after His heart! And I just pray even now, that He will bless you abundantly as He wraps His arms around you!!!!!
Thank you Lisa Marie, I will come to you and post.
Cora, Thank you for your kind, sweet words and testimony! I feel the Lord has taken me far and I have learned much, but if there's more, I want to learn all I can. My "hunger" is for the prodigals out there who need to come home to the Father and be filled up by Him, one of them very dear to me!
