At some point, we all feel it, a deep thirst that no amount of effort or success can quench. We chase after what we think will satisfy: security, recognition, control. But true life, Jesus reminds us, comes from another source entirely.

As one gospel song puts it:

“Like the woman at the well, I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy;
But then I heard my Saviour speaking:
‘Draw from the well that never shall run dry.’”

In John 4, Jesus meets a woman by a well and offers her living water. What begins as a simple request for a drink turns into a life-changing encounter. Through conversation and compassion, truth and grace, Jesus reveals himself—and she runs to tell others.

At St. Andrew’s, we believe that prayer is one way we draw deeply from that well. It is how we bring our lives into conversation with God: our longings, our grief, our joy, and our hope.
