NEW Prayers Post: "I lost my hunger and want it back!"
My fire’s going out! Once there was nothing I wanted more than you. Like a young man in love, there was a pull on my heart I couldn’t resist. I just wanted to know you. Be near you. Hear from you. See your glory. Now I'm numb from over-familiarity. Nothing affects me. Not even you. But it isn't you that changed. It's the heart I see you with. Read More. |
