Key Points We are promised a blessing when we hunger & thirst for God. We need to be awakened to our daily need to crave Jesus. Trials, suffering, and lack can awaken us to hunger and thirst for God.  We often settle for a substitute to meet our needs. These will never satisfy.  David describes this relationship as our souls clinging to God.  The practice of fasting from food can help awaken our hunger for God.
