What does the Bible say about longing for God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes a deep desire for God as essential for spiritual life, likening it to a thirst for water.

In Psalm 42:1-2, the psalmist expresses a profound thirst for God, comparing it to a deer panting for streams of water. This imagery demonstrates that just as deer seek water for survival, Christians must seek God for spiritual vitality. Longing for God is not just an emotion; it reflects a deep yearning for relationship and communion with the Creator, indicating that our ultimate satisfaction is found in Him alone.
