I've begun reading Tozer's "Pursuit of God".

His prayer is my own,

"O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, ‘Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.’ Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

Where he leads us-we don't know, but bea reminded me that "his plans for you are perfect and they will not harm you. He has cleansed you from all your sin so that you can enter into intimate relationship with him and run with boldness into his throne room and jump up on his lap." Doesn't mean it will be easy, but...here we go.....
