Summary
When it comes to having a conversation with God, it should be a back-and-forth of adoration. God always adores us, and we were made to adore him in return. Do your prayer times reflect that?

Rush Podcast is a production of Gather Ministries (https://www.gatherministries.com/), a non-profit organization led by Jennifer & Justin Camp. Through our five ministries, we equip men and women to encounter God in the every-day lives they're living. From Loop for Women, an email devotional focused on beauty & prayer, to WiRE for Men, an email devotional that helps men see life with God as the greatest adventure of all time, we hope we have something that matters to you.

| 0:00.0 | I have known you all your life. I have always been with you. And yet you call out to me, |
| 0:13.5 | but do not know for what you really ask. You call out to me, but do not really know |
| 0:20.4 | to whom you speak. You want things, but you need love. You want circumstances to change, |
| 0:31.0 | but you want more, so much more than that too. You need me. Son, daughter, you need me. |
| 0:50.4 | Rush podcast, Holy Spirit, in modern life. |
| 1:03.1 | Psalm 23, 1-4, the Passion. The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd. I |
| 1:20.2 | always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me and his luxurious love. His |
| 1:28.6 | tracks take me to an oasis of peace, the quiet brook of bliss. That's where he restores |
| 1:37.5 | and revives my life. He opens before me pathways to God's pleasure and leads me along in |
| 1:45.1 | his footsteps of righteousness, so that I can bring honor to his name. Lord, even when |

| 2:56.7 | want more, more of me, or at least you think you do. But if you're honest, honest about |
| 3:06.4 | what you think you really need, what you really want, it isn't me. It's rescue. It's |
| 3:15.7 | a way out. It's wisdom. It's direction. It's provision. It's a bandage on a wound that |
| 3:26.5 | is bleeding out just slowly, that you don't yet see. It is okay to call out to me in need. |
| 3:37.8 | I love when you do that. I love that you look to me for help. For yes, I am provider. I |
