Dear Brothers & Sisters,

“More of you; less of me.” 

This is the heart-felt prayer of every authentic believer. John the Baptist echoed the same sentiment when clarifying his role before Jesus:  “He must increase, but I must decrease.” This is the description of the heart that recognizes that no relief, forgiveness, or fulfillment can be found merely in the self or in this world.  We need more…  We need the Savior.  This is the heart-cry of what could be termed “hungry-prayer.”

It is when you’re hungry that food tastes best.  It is when you’re thirsty that cool water brings the sweetest refreshment.  It is when you are exhausted that a soft bed feels the most luxurious. For believers who have tasted the sweetness of God’s grace and forgiveness, we know there is nothing the world can offer that can compare.  Once you’ve experienced God’s mercy, you become forever ruined on the world’s offerings and counterfeits.  Yes, we can all slip into temptations, but God reminds us of his supreme worth and wonder and restoring grace.

He brings us back with His invitation to enjoy… to FEAST on his goodness.  The Psalms unashamedly exhort us with the words, “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!” (Ps 34:8). The more we enjoy God’s presence, the hungrier we become.  “Hungry-prayer” is this kind of petition that recognizes we ache, we yearn, and we desperately long to be in the presence of our Lord, and to see His glory manifest.   We want to see loved ones saved.  We want to see believers empowered. We want to see God glorified throughout the world. Our Savior made an astounding proclamation with a promise:

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” (Matt 5:6). 

I invite you to join us for an evening of “hungry-prayer” with dozens of churches across the Cape for the monthly Glory of God on Cape Cod prayer event Wednesday, September 28^th from 6:30-8:00pm at Lighthouse Christian Fellowship in Sandwich, MA.
