Passionate God, I pray for a heart that is fully alive with passions and desires. I pray for a heart that feels deeply, longs, yearns, and desires passionately. Draw me, remind me, lure me to bring all of that deep and overwhelming passion to You and place it in Your hands, running to You in the times where what I deeply want, what I think I must have, must be or must be able to do, is not what You want for me to have, be or do. Would You be my Comforter, my tender Shepherd, and the Refiner of the depth of my soul. Would You win my living, longing, yearning soul to Yourself even through disappointment, grief, disillusionment, gratitude, joy and ultimately a deep confidence in the Creator of my soul and all of its passions, who offers Himself in all situations and emotions of my life as my very Great Reward. "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen." Romans 11:36
