دعای شخص پریشان

(قصیده ای از بنی قورح)

۱چنانکه آهو برای نهرهای آب شدت اشتیاق دارد، همچنان ای خدا جان من هم اشتیاق شدید برای تو دارد. ۲جان من تشنۀ خداست، تشنۀ خدای زنده. که کی بیایم و به حضور خدا حاضر شوم. ۳اشکهایم شب و روز نان من بوده است، چون همواره به من می گویند: «خدای تو کجاست؟» ۴چون گذشته را بیاد می آورم، جانم بی حال می گردد. چگونه با گروه مردم می رفتم و ایشان را به عبادتگاه خداوند پیشروی می کردم، با آواز خوشی و ستایش در جمع تجلیل کنندگان.

۵ای جان من چرا افسرده شده ای و چرا در من پریشان گشته ای؟ بر خدا امید داشته باش زیرا که او را به خاطر نجات از طرف روی او دوباره ستایش خواهم کرد.

۶ای خدای من، جان من افسرده است، بنابراین از سرزمین اُردن و کوههای حِرمون و مِسعر ترا به یاد می آورم. ۷ندای عمق آبها و آواز آبشار ها و جمیع خیزابها و امواج آن از سر من گذشته اند. ۸در طی روز خداوند رحمت خود را بر من قرار می دهد و در شب سرود او در قلب من می باشد و دعایم نزد خدای حیات من. ۹به خدا که صخرۀ من است می گویم: «چرا مرا فراموش کرده ای؟ چرا بخاطر ظلم دشمنان در غم و ماتم باشم؟» ۱۰دشمنانم مرا ملامت می کنند و همواره به من می گویند: «خدای تو کجاست؟» و این همچون ضربۀ مهلک به استخوانهایم است.

۱۱ای جان من چرا افسرده شده ای و چرا در من پریشان گشته ای؟ بر خدا امید داشته باش زیرا که او را دوباره ستایش خواهم کرد، که نجات روی من و خدای من است.

He Was Crucified to Quench Man's Long-Standing Thirst for God. (Healing Cries)
Many times we are thirsty and cry out; but people do not give us water to drink, nor kindness and love; but vinegar and bitterness to drink. But her thirst was very different; it was a thirst for love and compassion and deep intimacy and sharing in his sufferings. Mother Teresa explained that this is a statement from Christ on the cross that always reminds us of the purpose of their ministry. She says: We have written this statement in all the centres so that we do not forget the purpose of our ministry. She emphasises that this ministry was founded to quench the thirst of Jesus, whose ultimate goal is to quench the thirst of Jesus Christ crucified to love the souls of the lost.

Do We Have a Thirst for God in Our Hearts to Find Life?

Do We Have a Thirst for God in Our Hearts to Find Life? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
Just as the life of a deer depends on water - our life also depends on God. Those who follow him and are eager to understand him will find eternal life. Then I see that Jesus warned about religious scholars who sit in high places to be respected by people. Unfortunately, this makes them arrogant. Religious leaders are supposed to seek the glory of God, but often and mainly seek their own glory. Arrogance is the greatest temptation that lurks in every person - Christian or non-Christian.

Who Is Jesus Christ? Wonderful Counsellor/Christmas 2022 (With You)
From this verse we realize that Christ was not an ordinary person. He was the Word of God and was with God before the creation of the world. The Word, which is Christ, existed in the beginning. Before the world was formed, Christ existed. Christ was with God before the beginning. God has no beginning; He has always existed. And God has always had his "Word" with him. God has never been without the "Word." Christ was not only with God but he was God. Christ is not only the Son of God, but also God himself. Christ is God in the form of a man. He is the one and only true incarnation of the living God who came to earth 2000 years ago.
