Sinking Prayer

We haven't had deep communion for a while now.

As the dear pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God - the Living God.
When can I go and meet with God?

That is the cry of my heart.

These things I remember as I pour out my soul...

To whom?  It must be to God.  So in the dryness is where you are longing for God.

Alistair Begg has this precious observation on Peter's drowning call for help: "Sinking times are praying times with the Lord's servants."  I think I am sinking.  Probably the Psalmist of Psalm 42 feel the same way too.  But in the end he concluded the prayer as:

Why are you downcast, O my soul? 
Why so disturbed within me? 
Put your hope in God, 
for I will yet praise him, 
my Savior and my God.

So I will put my hope in God. I pray that I will hear His voice and meet Him again. For my soul won't be satisfied until I found rest in Him.
