"Prayer of Thirst" (Psalm 42:1-11, John 2:13-22)
Rev. Dr. Marjorie E. Nunes, March 7, 2021Part of the Lent series, preached at a Lent service
The palmist begins by lamenting “My soul thirsts for God”, describing his condition as severe spiritual dryness or drought. The condition is conveyed by the image of a deer dying of thirst.
Deer are creatures of instinct and ones that drink constantly; deer would be parched and deeply thirsty if there were a drought. The palmist is conveying spiritual dryness as drought, a drying up of necessary resources. Circumstances are preventing him from going to meet with God!
