In Need Of... Desperation.

I want to be desperate for God. To be intense in my quest to find out who He is. To dwell on Him day and night....
The psalms contain great examples of desperation. Psalm 27:7 says "Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me and answer me. When You said, 'Seek My face,' My heart said to You, 'Your face, Lord, I will seek.'"
So often in the psalms you hear David say, "Hear me Lord!" I can picture that... I can picture me doing that.... Sometimes i want to stand up and holler at God.... "LISTEN TO ME!!!!" lol
Even though i know He listens to me even when i'm whispering, and he hears my every thought.
I know i don't need to have a tantrum to get God to listen to me :o) But sometimes i just don't feel like i'm getting heard. Sometimes, i feel like i'm not desperate to be heard.
Talking to God should be the most important thing i could POSSIBLY imagine.
I want my heart to cry out to God. I want to seek His face with desparation, recklessly casting aside the world, and opening my soul to Him.

Speak and listen, listen and speak. As you say, be desperate. And then what you've got, is communication... essential to any healthy relationship.
