hungry prayers

Oh Lord, you have searched me and know my thoughts even before I speak them out. You know the desires on my heart and the ache in my soul for more of you. I choose this day to surrender to you and lay all things at your feet. For it is you and you alone that I long to seek. While your blessings are full of love and grace, I long to seek you for who you are and nothing more. I confess my selfish ways and the times that I seek other thinsg before you. I confess that I have created a little world for myself and have clung to it for dear life....and seeing it become a god in my life. I confess the way that I have placed marriage at such a high esteem and seeking a husband /relationship more than Ive sought you. I confess the times that I have turned to food as comfort, as celebration, and have allowed it to control my days. You Lord are the one that I seek. You Lord are the one that I long to crave every moment of the day. During this time of fasting Lord, I ask for more of you. I have no idea what that looks like. But I long to hear your voice. I long to see your face. Please Lord, I ask for breakthrough in my life. Thank you for your blessings and your protection during this time of waiting and searching and healing. But bring forth your destiny for me. Or at least give me an open door so that with faith, I will walk through it. Lord break the control of food in my life. And Lord, raise up the men of faith who will seek you with all of their heart. May the hunger pains be a reminder of my need for you. More then bread I need you Lord! I have great expectations for this week Lord. Meet me in new ways.
