Are you hungry for God?

We have these evenings at church called "Hungry for God". They are quite simple really, they are free-format, sometimes having longish times of prayer, often music and perhaps an impromptu talk or other. Ironically, these midweek meetings are probably much more like Sundays should be!! Maybe in a few years they will be.
I am really impressed by the way in which the leadership have broken the mold a bit and although not revolutionary, have displayed a willingness to think bigger than Sunday + Home Group which is the staple of many a church. I was however struck by the fact that I was going to a meeting because I was "hungry for God" and I wanted Him to do something to me or for me. Talk about warped. Surely, if I understand things, life should be God centric, not Me centric. He does what He wants to to whomever He wants to whenever He wants to - period. Even in the well-meaning I had missed the point. Part of the problem with these sorts of meetings is that we expect or want God to do something when we go there. Really, God wants us to be hungry for Him all the time and maybe or maybe not, one day God will do something for us, to us or with us. I, however, am not the person who decides that. I will not decide whether I want to be a missionary or a vicar or anything else because God has ordained a path for me for a short or long period.
They are talking about doing them on the same evening every week next term which I think is a shame because it makes things more formal and becomes another meeting for the people who are 'good' and go to all the meetings!
