How filthy I am! Like the harlot of Hosea who returns to her lovers, I continually return to my broken cisterns. O God, YOU ALONE satisfy the thirst of my soul! Why, then, do I search anywhere else. I have tasted and I have seen! I've been freely given of living water and have known its goodness. Yet again and again I return to my own broken cisterns that hold no water. Again and again, again and again! I act as an adulterous wife who, forgetting the love of her husband runs to embrace her many lovers.
Dear Father, against You and You only I sin! Forgive me for giving glory to anything else for its temporary satisfaction. Forgive me according to the blood of Your Son. You are my great and mighty Redeemer who has saved me from the miry pit of my sin and false search. Only You are good and only you are truth!
Lie: I can satisfy my thirsts with things of the world.
Truth: "O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water." --Psalm 63:1
