Seek Out Our God

If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

Oh Lord, my God, I seek You. I long to know You more and more, for You are the light of all mankind; the source of life, and the truth and substance that makes life real

Our days are energized by Your presence, you bring meaning to our hours, and joy, that makes each day worth living

Lord, I want to strive to lay hold of You and live my life so that I could draw close to You; to make my life a home for Your life-giving Spirit

I know You are near at hand; Your presence fills the heavens and all the earth. Certainly, You are near to me now

At this moment, You’re in contact with my being. I sense You, but long to know You more each day

For, I too often stray and become distracted. I become lost in life’s struggles, worries, and pains, and I begin to sink beneath the waves; Or, lose sight of the horizon

Faith takes effort. Belief needs care and watering. To see God, we must continue looking

Lord, I am a student in your school called life, I read Your textbooks each day and recite Your Words until I know their meaning

I am amazed by what they speak unto me,  and how they correct me when I am wrong. They comfort me when the hard days come calling

Lord God, You are there; You reach out to me with an outstretched arm to lift me up; Or, place a gentle hand on my shoulder to let me know I shall never go alone

Even when there seems no way out of the pit of despair, or when dangers lurk around me and they threaten and cast their menacing looks, Lord You are with me

My God I strive to lay hold of you this night. I seek You each morning when  I rise and look for you as I make my way through each day

For you are the God who acts on our behalf. You come to those who wait patiently and bring help to those who gladly do right; Who remember Your ways all the days of their life    1/24/2020
