Personal note:  As you know, I rarely use someone else's material in TFTD. 
However, the article below was too powerful not to share.  I hope it means as 
much to you as it did to me:

Alan Smith
Helen Street Church of Christ

Lord, create in me...a holy hunger for You and fan it each day like a fire,
Till I'm totally dissatisfied with the things of this earth and Your glory is my utmost desire.

Let me seek Your face, Your honor and wisdom till my soul is consumed by your flame.
Let me inhale your Presence, wanting more every breath so I'll exhale of the truth of your name.

May I wake every day with a renewing of passion and not be content with what You did in the past.
For Your glory is more than a trophy to hold in the hope that its memory will last.

Lord, fill me with joy...inexpressible joy from the depths of Your heart's flowing treasures.
For I've found true happiness isn't held in my hands but in the spiritual I cannot measure.

Pour yourself out to me...like only You can and I will grow wanting more of Your glory,
manifested to me through the Word in my life and written into my life story.

Let me die to myself and my selfish desires so that righteousness overflows from within.
Till You're the last thought I have at the close of each day and the first thought as each new day begins.
