For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11 WEB
Have you ever gone into your prayer room thinking that you were right in step with the Lord, but came out in tears after seeing just how far off you really were? I have, more than once. I call it Cruise Control.
When things begin to go smoothly in your life and everything is working like it should, and your prayers have been answered, it becomes easy to grow complacent. To just drift and let the current carry you along.
Of course you still pray, you still go through the motions, but your whole heart is not in it, and your mind is always somewhere else. As surely as you breathe, you eventually drift off course and the sooner that you correct it, the better.
God is always welcoming us into His loving arms. He is always there for us just a prayer away. Make some time for God today. Ask the Lord to make what is important to Him, important to you. Intentionally seek out the Lord's presence as if you mean it. There is a great reward for those that do. He promised that we would seek Him and find Him, when we search Him with all of our heart.
Prayer: Father, I seek You today. Lead me into all that You have for me. Help me to see through Your eyes and make what is important to You, important to me. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
