God Fulfills our Longing.

No prayer verses came this past week because Mom gave me her prayer sheet focusing on God's wings. This week, the focus is on how God fulfills our longing. In fact, God should be our deepest Longing: "Strong, persistent desire or craving, especially for something unattainable or distant" (Dictionary.com, n. d.).

Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling.
