About yearning for God…

Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. † My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. † Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and regard not the majesty of the Lord. † When they see among them their children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. † Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction." † A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. † Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. † Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud. † A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. † The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride. † Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools. † Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such questions. †
