As the Deer Panteth for the Water

Today I was praying: God I want to need You like I need water or breath. But how unconscious our desire of water and breath are! We only notice them in their absence; in fact we only truly desire them in their absence. In my relationship with God thus far, I have learned one thing for certain: God cannot be contained by anything, especially not by any solitary definition. God is my breath certainly, and my water. But He is not limited by thee roles. What would I be but a presumptuous jailer if I tried to keep God from being anything more to me? He permeates every need and every desire. His role is the fulfilment of all of them not just one. He is breath, bread, water, friend, father, mother, lover, reprimand and comfort. Or at least He should be.
