And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
—Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV)
God wants us to seek him. In fact, he made us to seek after him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Matthew 22:37-38)! Unfortunately, we often seek God and the other things that distract us from him at the same time. We must never let anything detract from God having first place in our hearts. Only God is worthy of our full devotion and first devotion. If each of us seeks him with all of our heart, God has promised us that we will find him!
Righteous God and Holy Father, please bless me with an undivided heart, one that seeks you as the first and ordering priority of my life. Forgive me, dear LORD, for letting other things distract my focus from you and interfere with my service to you. Please fill me with a holy passion for Kingdom matters above all other concerns and interests. Most of all, dear Father, I want to find you and have you in my life each day, so I seek after you. I seek after you to follow you and have you in my life. In Jesus' name, I ask for this grace. Amen.
