Good Morning Sunshine! God Wants You To Stay A Little While Longer At The Well!

John 4:14 (NIV) ~ “But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Yesterday, the Lord called you back to His Table. Today, He’s beckoning you to stay at His Well a little while longer. In a dry and weary land where many are running on empty, God is drawing you to the only Source that can truly satisfy the thirst in your soul. You’ve sipped from wells of human approval, achievements, distractions, and emotional crutches; but you’re still thirsty. That’s because only the living water can quench a spiritual thirst.

In John 4, Jesus met the Samaritan woman who came to draw water in the heat of the day, carrying a jar, but also the weight of shame and rejection. She had been filling her life with relationship after relationship, and stuff after stuff, searching for something that would last. But Jesus offered her something no man ever could, Himself. He said, “Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.” (John 4:14) And when she tasted His Word’s, her soul was awakened. She left her water jar behind, because what He gave her filled the empty places that no bucket ever could. (What is in your bucket? What are you carrying that you need to leave behind?)

Too many of you are still carrying the jar, seeking temporary comfort instead of permanent transformation. You’ve gotten used to stopping by the well occasionally and sipping just enough to survive. But survival is not the same as revival! God is calling you to remain, not visit. To draw daily, not occasionally. Jeremiah 2:13 says, “My people have committed two sins: they have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.” It’s time to stop patching holes and start returning to the well that never runs dry.

Remaining at the well is not about perfection, it’s about your position. It’s about staying close to the Source of strength, even when life feels like a wilderness. Psalm 1:3 describes the blessed person as one who is “like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.” When you remain planted, you remain fruitful, even in drought. God’s Presence becomes your ecosystem, and His Word becomes your reservoir!

And sometimes, remaining means wrestling with silence, trusting God when the well feels still. But even in those moments, the water is working. Just like deep wells are not always noisy, God is often doing His deepest work in your quiet surrender. Isaiah 12:3 says, “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” That means there’s something waiting at the bottom of your obedience, joy, refreshing, renewal, and revival. You don’t need another temporary fix; you need a deep filling. A saturation that moves beyond your emotions and invades your spirit. You need God to refresh your identity, your calling, your focus, and your faith. And the only way that happens is when you stop dipping and start dwelling. Stay long enough for the water to go from your lips to your heart. Stay long enough for it to become a spring within you. Stay at the well.

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father, You are so Gracious and I’m grateful! You are a Life-Giving Father, and I come to You today weary and thirsty, longing for the water that only You can give. I admit, Lord, that I have tried to quench my thirst with things that were never meant to satisfy. I’ve drawn from broken wells, dug my own cisterns, and leaned on substitutes. But today, I return to Your Well, the deep, holy place where Living Water flows freely, constantly, and abundantly. Jesus, like the woman at the well, I bring my jar, empty, cracked, and worn. I lay it at Your feet, asking You to fill me again. Not with temporary relief, but with eternal refreshment. Wash over my soul with the water of Your Word. Cleanse my mind from the residue of doubt. Let every dry and weary place be saturated by Your Presence. Let my thirst be for righteousness and my satisfaction be in You alone. Teach me how to stay, Lord. Not just to sip and leave, but to sit and linger. I don’t want to be a visitor to Your Presence, I want to abide in it! Make me like that tree planted by rivers of living water. Let my roots go deep. Let fruit spring forth in due season. Let me not be shaken by drought, nor discouraged by delay. Keep me planted, watered, and growing in You. Father, I surrender my need for quick fixes and surface-level relief. I want to be filled to overflow. Let the Living Water You pour into me become a well within me, rising up with strength, wisdom, joy, and clarity. Let Your water flush out every toxic residue of fear, bitterness, burnout, and shame. Where I have been depleted, pour in power. Where I have been tired, pour in tenacity. Where I have been scattered, pour in stillness. And Lord, let this be more than a prayer, let it be my posture. Let staying at Your well become my lifestyle. Even when things are busy, when life is heavy, when my soul is tempted to wander, call me back to the well. Make me sensitive to Your Spirit and hungry for Your voice. Let my life be anchored at the well of Your love, grace, and glory. Thank You that You never run dry. Thank You that You never send me away thirsty. Today, I choose to drink deeply. I choose to remain. I choose You. In Jesus Christ Name, I pray. Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
