Pray This When You Want God's Presence More Than Anything | Psalm 63

#MorningPrayer #Psalm63 #DrawMeCloser This powerful morning prayer will draw you closer to God than ever before. In Psalm 63:1-8, David cries out from the wilderness: "O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land... Your lovingkindness is better than life... In the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me." David wasn't writing from a comfortable palace—he was in the wilderness. His son Absalom had turned against him, his kingdom was in chaos. Yet in the middle of that emptiness, his soul cried out for ONE thing: not rescue, not water, not food—but GOD HIMSELF. The Hebrew word for "early will I seek You" means earnestly, diligently, with great intensity. David pursued God with everything he had, at the start of the day, before anything else demanded his attention. Maybe life feels dry lately. You've been going through the motions—church, prayers, reading verses—but something feels distant. There's a hunger nothing satisfies. You've tried filling it with work, entertainment, relationships, achievements, social media... but none of it reaches that deep place. Saint Augustine said: "Our hearts are restless until they rest in You." James 4:8 promises: "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." This is a divine invitation! While we pursue God, His right hand is upholding us. We're not chasing a God who runs away—we're drawing near to a Father who already drew near to us. In this prayer, we ask God to remove every barrier between us, tear down every wall we've built, fill every empty place. We invite the Holy Spirit to have His way. We choose to abide in the Vine (John 15). We declare this is a new season of intimacy—the dry places are coming to life, the hunger is being satisfied by the Bread of Life! We rebuke every distraction, every lie of the enemy that says we've messed up too many times. In Your presence is FULLNESS of joy, not partial joy—fullness of joy! ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Scripture: Psalm 63:1-8 3:00 - David In The Wilderness 6:00 - When Life Feels Dry 9:00 - Prayer Begins 12:00 - Removing Every Barrier 15:00 - Holy Spirit Fill Me 18:00 - Prayer For Everyone Watching 21:00 - Declarations & Breakthroughs 24:00 - Closing Blessing 🙏 Type AMEN if you want to draw closer to Jesus today 📩 Drop your prayer request—we lift you up in prayer 🔔 Subscribe for daily prayers to experience God's presence Your lovingkindness is better than life.
