Psalm 130:1-2
Out of the depths I call to you, Lord; Lord, here my cry!

Do you experience that deep yearning…an insatiable craving for something more? You cannot satisfy that craving with anything of this world. Many fall into the trap of thinking if they just had more of this or that then they’d be satisfied. Not so! For as St. Paul says, “All creation is groaning in labor pains” (Romans 8:22). He goes on to say that “we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings” (Romans 8:26). St. Paul says the groanings are the Holy Spirit interceding for us according to God’s will. God is luring you…lovingly drawing you…leading you to wholeness, healing and completion. The pain comes in that we have to let go of our grasp on things that don’t matter. God continues to give us plenty of things to enjoy along the way…just don’t cling to them…for that is not love.
