gives purpose to your daily life when there seem to be no apparent solutions to your daily problems . Let the feeling of dependence cause you , and encourage you , to cry out to Him anytime for anything . The more you put your eyes on God and take your eyes off yourself and your surroundings , the more you are willing to put your concerns and heartache on the One who exists beyond the sun . He ’ s the answer to your agony .
Jesus said , “ Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink . Whoever believes in me , as Scripture has said , rivers of living water will flow from within them ” ( John 7:37 – 38 ).
You want knowledge to hope in , to refresh , and to transform ? It ’ s right here . Thirst no more .
