There is a difference between longing and desire. I thought about this a great deal over the years as great longings were alive in me. The children of Israel "wandered in the wilderness in a solitary place, their soul fainted in them."
God answered their cries and David records their deliverance. He said, "For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness." Psalm 107:4-9. He gave them everything they longed for and they praised and worshiped Him for it.
Both desire and longing are synonyms, yet they are both distinct in their meanings. Longings are intensified much more than desires, though desires can be very powerful.
Those that have longings know it as a potent yearning, a pining and panting. There is a longing for home or a person, or people. It is an earnest, deep ache accompanied by sadness.
Great desires turn into intensified longings that go deeper, and gain strength in hope and in time. Nothing can tear away a person whose longing is in the Lord.
God in the end will satisfy your longing soul and fill your hungry soul with His goodness too. The answer will come. And in eternity you will go finally go Home to Heaven and see Him "Whom your soul loveth," Jesus Christ. Your heavenly longings realized.
You can confidently rely on it. His name and honor are at stake. Praise ye the Lord. Amen and Amen.
“The greater the difficulty to be overcome, the more will it be seen to the glory of God how much can be done by prayer and faith.”

There has been an ongoing drawing of God in my heart in times of prayer. I have been experiencing a moving of God about it. It is not about praying more or less but about the depths of it, the vastness of it. The unsearchable riches of it and how beyond our understanding it is.
Yesterday morning I was thinking about prayer during devotions because I had done a message on it a few days ago. I was going over things I had shared. I said to myself, How vast and eternal prayer is.
The momment I said that I heard His still small Voice within say, If you can describe heaven you will be able to describe prayer. Moments later I heard more....You grow into prayer until you become the prayer.
God wants to take you farther and deeper into prayer in ways only He can do. It is not in verbal excercises, or reading chapters of books on how to pray or go deeper. Those only impede the process. Remember prayer is an eternal thing. Once you pray it remains eternal.
Begin to go beyond thin prayers hoping God will hear you. He is not a tempramental God, but a rich, full and flowing God of spiritual, ceaseless rivers and streams of life-giving waters. Start believing God for greater things, it honors Him. He deserves our believing in Him since we call ourselves believers.
Reach out to Him and watch what He will do through you. Prayer reveals Jesus Christ so That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that there is none else.
“Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.”
