River of Living Water
River of living water, flow in my life.
Not a stagnant pond of yesterday’s grace,
But a rushing,constant current from Your holy place.
Spring up,O well, from the depths of my soul,
A fountain unceasing,making the broken whole.
Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” (John 7:37-38)
Flow through the dry places of my weary mind.
Flow through thewounded spaces I am afraid to find.
Flush out the bitter waters,cleanse the polluted stream,
Until my every motive reflects Your glory’s beam.
You are the River that makes the city of God rejoice.
You are the Stream that gives the desert a voice.
Water my roots that I may be like a tree,
Planted by Your riverbank,bearing fruit abundantly.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)
Let this river flow in me, for my deepest need.
Let this river flowthrough me, a blessing others heed.
Until my life becomes a channel,wide and deep and true,
A tributary of Your life,pointing them back to You.
Flow, river of God.
Spring up, O well.
I am thirsty for You alone.
Amen.

The Source and the Stream
This prayer invites the reality of a promise Jesus made. The "river of living water" is a powerful symbol of the Holy Spirit's presence and work in a believer's life (John 7:39).
· The Source is Christ: The river flows from within the believer because the Spirit dwells within. It starts at the throne of God and the Lamb (Revelation 22:1).
· The Purpose is Transformation: This divine flow is for internal cleansing, spiritual vitality, and fruitful ministry. It turns inner deserts into gardens (Isaiah 58:11).
· The Result is Blessing to Others: We are not cisterns that hoard water, but channels. The river flowing in us is meant to flow through us, bringing life, refreshment, and healing to the world around us (Ezekiel 47:1-12).
To pray for this river is to ask for a deeper, more powerful, and more outward-focused infilling of the Holy Spirit. It is a surrender to being both refreshed and used as a conduit of His grace.
