Panting after God. Thirsting,wanting, longing, desiring. God is the only thing I 
need to survive.. and thrive. In Psamls 42 the author sought God with everything 
they were.  God shpould be the only thing in your mind when you meet with him, 
wheather it be at church or at home. How else can you really get to know Him? 
What motivates you to go to church? What keeps you from going to church? If you 
go to church what keeps you from seeking after God?

Psalms 42
“As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O 
God. 
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before 
God? 
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where 
is thy God? 
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the 
multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, 
with a multitude that kept holyday. 
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in 
God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the 
land 
of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy 
billows 
are gone over me. 
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his 
song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because 
of the oppression of the enemy?  
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me,
 Where is thy God?  
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou 
in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.”
