How many times have you been thirsty and drank your favorite juice or soda, only to realize that your thirst was not quenched by it?

That’s because when you are truly thirsty, the only thing that can quench your thirst is water. 

Let us apply the same scenario to everyday life.  

The water that you’ve tried to quench your thirst with has been: 

Clothes 

Parties  

Financial success  

Gambling 

Drugs 

Alcohol  

Relationships  

And many other things. 

Maybe you’ve tried all these things and until today you are still thirsty for peace of mind, and the joy of your soul.  

There was a woman in the Bible who experienced the very same thing as she tried to quench her thirst with multiple relationships. 

When Jesus came in contact with her, He led her to the Living Waters (Himself). Take a look at their encounter.  

“Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again. But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:13-14  

The wonderful thing is, no matter with what you have already tried to quench your thirst, you have the opportunity right now to drink of His Living Water. You just need to ask as she did!   

Maybe you say, “but I don’t even know how to pray”.  

You can start by simply saying the same words that the woman said many years ago… 

“Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.” John 4:15  

May the God of the Bible bless you!
