Seek Him With All Your Heart

An Inspirational Message From Deuteronomy 4:29

“But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” — Deuteronomy 4:29

There are moments in life when the words “from there” carry more meaning than we might first realize. From there—from disappointment, from confusion, from failure, from loneliness, from uncertainty, from a place we never intended to reach. From there—from the consequences of poor choices, from the ruins of plans that once seemed certain, from the wilderness where familiar landmarks have disappeared. From there—from whatever place you find yourself today—you can seek the Lord.

And that may be one of the most hopeful truths contained in this verse.

God does not say that you must first return to the place where everything was right before you may seek Him. He does not say that you must repair every mistake, understand every mystery, overcome every weakness, or untangle every problem before turning toward Him. The invitation begins exactly where you are: “from there.”

Wherever “there” happens to be, God can be sought.

Perhaps “there” is a season of uncertainty. You know that something is changing, but you cannot see clearly what comes next. The future seems covered by fog, and questions multiply faster than answers. Seek the Lord from there.

Perhaps “there” is a place of regret. You look backward and wish you could rewrite conversations, decisions, relationships, or years. You cannot change what has already happened, but you can seek the Lord from there.

Perhaps “there” is a season of spiritual dryness. Prayer seems difficult. Scripture does not seem to stir your heart as it once did. Worship feels more like discipline than delight. Seek the Lord from there.

Perhaps “there” is grief. Someone is missing. Something precious has been lost. Life continues, but it does not look the way it once did. Seek the Lord from there.

Perhaps “there” is blessing. Doors are opening. Prayers are being answered. Life is peaceful, relationships are strong, and provision is abundant. Seek the Lord from there as well.

For God is not merely the God we seek when everything has fallen apart. He is the God we seek because He is God.

Deuteronomy 4 speaks into the covenant relationship between God and His people. Moses warns Israel about wandering away from the Lord and turning toward idols. He speaks honestly about the consequences of forgetting God. Yet even within the warning, grace shines brightly. Even after wandering, there remains a road home. Even after failure, there remains an invitation to seek. Even when people have traveled far from faithfulness, God has not ceased to be merciful.

That is the remarkable beauty of divine grace.

Human beings often imagine that failure is the end of the story. God repeatedly demonstrates otherwise.

God specializes in meeting people in places they never expected to be.

The Bible is filled with people who encountered God “from there.”

Jacob encountered God while running from the consequences of his own actions.

Moses encountered God in the wilderness after his life in Egypt had collapsed.

Elijah encountered God when exhausted, frightened, and discouraged.

Jonah prayed from the depths after running away from God's command.

David cried out to God from caves, battlefields, guilt, sorrow, and danger.

Peter encountered the grace of the risen Christ after denying that he even knew Him.

The prodigal son discovered that the road home remained open even after he had traveled far into a distant country.

Again and again, Scripture declares the same hope: your present location does not place you beyond the reach of God.

You can seek Him from there.

But Deuteronomy 4:29 adds an important condition. It does not simply say, “You will seek the Lord your God and find Him.” It says, “you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

This is not casual curiosity. This is wholehearted pursuit.

There is a difference between wanting God to improve our circumstances and wanting God Himself.

Sometimes people seek God's hand without seeking God's heart. They want relief but not relationship, blessing but not surrender, answers but not obedience, comfort but not transformation.

Yet the invitation of Scripture reaches deeper.

Seek the Lord Himself.

There is nothing wrong with bringing needs before God. Scripture repeatedly encourages us to pray about our troubles, needs, fears, hopes, illnesses, relationships, and circumstances. God cares about the details of human life. But prayer ultimately leads us beyond what God can give us into the wonder of who God is.

The greatest treasure found in seeking God is God Himself.

There comes a point in spiritual maturity when the prayer changes from, “Lord, give me what I need,” to something deeper:

“Lord, I need You.”

That is the heartbeat of wholehearted seeking.

To seek God with all your heart means refusing to give Him only the leftover pieces of your attention. It means allowing the desire for God to move toward the center of life rather than remaining somewhere along its edges.

The world constantly competes for the heart.

Success says, “Seek me.”

Money says, “Seek me.”

Approval says, “Seek me.”

Pleasure says, “Seek me.”

Recognition says, “Seek me.”

Security says, “Seek me.”

Entertainment says, “Seek me.”

Even good things can become ultimate things when they occupy the place that belongs to God alone.

Yet none of these things can carry the weight of the human soul.

Achievement cannot tell you who you are when you fail.

Money cannot guarantee peace.

Popularity cannot cure loneliness.

Pleasure cannot create lasting purpose.

Human approval cannot give eternal identity.

Possessions cannot accompany you beyond this life.

But God remains.

When everything temporary has revealed its limitations, the eternal God is still God.

So seek Him.

Seek Him when you understand and when you do not.

Seek Him when your prayers seem immediately answered and when heaven seems silent.

Seek Him when faith feels strong and when you can barely whisper His name.

Seek Him when you are surrounded by people and when you walk through lonely places.

Seek Him when you are beginning something new and when something precious is ending.

Seek Him in joy.

Seek Him in sorrow.

Seek Him in abundance.

Seek Him in need.

Seek Him in certainty.

Seek Him in questions.

Seek Him because He is worthy of being sought.

Wholehearted seeking also requires honesty. God is not asking us to approach Him pretending to be something we are not. We do not have to manufacture spiritual emotions before coming into His presence.

Come honestly.

If you are afraid, seek Him with your fear.

If you are grieving, seek Him with your tears.

If you are confused, seek Him with your questions.

If you have failed, seek Him with repentance.

If you are grateful, seek Him with thanksgiving.

If you are weary, seek Him with whatever strength remains.

God already knows the condition of the heart. Prayer is not informing God of something He has failed to notice. Prayer is opening ourselves before the One who already knows us completely.

There is tremendous freedom in that truth.

You do not need impressive words.

You need an honest heart.

Sometimes seeking God may look dramatic, but often it is wonderfully ordinary.

It is opening Scripture before opening the endless stream of news and notifications.

It is whispering a prayer while driving to work.

It is sitting quietly before God when you do not know what to say.

It is choosing obedience when compromise would be easier.

It is forgiving when resentment feels justified.

It is confessing sin rather than hiding it.

It is worshiping when circumstances are difficult.

It is thanking God for ordinary gifts.

It is serving someone who cannot repay you.

It is choosing integrity when no one is watching.

It is returning tomorrow after today's prayer felt distracted.

Do not underestimate these quiet acts of seeking.

A life with God is often formed through small acts of faithfulness repeated over many years.

The person who seeks God wholeheartedly is not necessarily the person who experiences constant spiritual excitement. Often it is the person who keeps turning toward God.

Again.

And again.

And again.

There will be distracted mornings.

There will be difficult seasons.

There will be prayers that seem to rise no higher than the ceiling.

There will be questions that remain unanswered longer than expected.

There may even be moments when God seems distant.

Keep seeking.

Feelings are real, but they are not always reliable measurements of God's presence.

Clouds can hide the sun without extinguishing it.

In the same way, circumstances can obscure our awareness of God without altering His faithfulness.

The promise of Deuteronomy 4:29 rests not upon the intensity of human emotion but upon the faithfulness of God.

“You will find Him.”

What extraordinary words.

The God who created galaxies permits Himself to be sought by human beings.

The God who holds creation together invites people into communion with Him.

The eternal God is not playing some cruel game of spiritual hide-and-seek, deliberately keeping Himself beyond reach while demanding that people search endlessly.

He has revealed Himself.

He has spoken through creation.

He has spoken through Scripture.

And Christians confess that He has revealed Himself supremely in Jesus Christ.

In Christ, God does not merely send instructions from heaven. He comes near.

Jesus walks among ordinary people. He touches lepers. He welcomes children. He eats with outsiders. He forgives sinners. He comforts mourners. He confronts hypocrisy. He calls disciples. He carries the cross. He rises from the grave.

The God we seek is the God who has already moved toward us.

That transforms the meaning of spiritual seeking.

We do not seek God because He is unwilling to be found.

We seek because grace has awakened the desire to come home.

We seek because God has called.

We seek because His mercy has opened the door.

We seek because somewhere beneath all the distractions of life, the human soul knows that it was made for more than consumption, achievement, entertainment, and survival.

It was made for God.

This is why earthly success can coexist with spiritual emptiness. A person can possess almost everything society calls desirable and still feel an ache that accomplishments cannot satisfy.

That ache is not always a problem to eliminate.

Sometimes it is an invitation.

It may be the soul remembering what it was created for.

Saint Augustine famously expressed the truth that the human heart remains restless until it rests in God. Centuries have passed, civilizations have changed, technology has transformed daily life, but the human heart has not outgrown its Creator.

We still hunger for meaning.

We still long to be known.

We still search for something permanent in a temporary world.

We still ask questions that money cannot answer.

Who am I?

Why am I here?

What is worth living for?

What happens when everything I have built eventually disappears?

Is there forgiveness for what I have done?

Is there hope beyond death?

Does my life matter?

These are not merely intellectual questions. They rise from the deepest places of the human soul.

And Scripture keeps pointing us toward God.

Seek Him.

Not because every question will immediately disappear, but because questions look different when carried in the presence of God.

Not because every hardship will instantly end, but because hardship is transformed when we discover that we do not endure it alone.

Not because seeking God guarantees an easy life, but because finding God gives us a foundation deeper than circumstances.

God is not merely one more addition to a successful life.

He is the foundation upon which life was meant to be built.

And wholehearted seeking involves surrender.

There may be things God asks you to release.

An attitude.

A resentment.

A habit.

A relationship that continually pulls you away from what is good.

A secret compromise.

A need for control.

A cherished idol.

A version of your future that you have demanded must happen exactly according to your plans.

Seeking God means allowing Him to be God.

That can be difficult because the human heart wants the comfort of divine help while retaining complete control.

But faith eventually opens its hands.

“Lord, not merely my plans, but Your will.”

“Not merely my comfort, but Your purpose.”

“Not merely my timing, but Your wisdom.”

“Not merely what I want You to give me, but what You desire to make of me.”

This surrender is not the destruction of freedom. It is the discovery of freedom.

The closer we draw to God, the more clearly we begin to see the things that have quietly enslaved us.

The approval we thought we needed.

The bitterness we thought we had a right to keep.

The fear we thought defined us.

The success we thought would save us.

The possessions we thought would secure us.

The control we thought we could maintain.

In God's presence, these lesser masters begin losing their authority.

The heart becomes free to say, “The Lord is enough.”

Perhaps today you feel far from God.

Then hear the invitation again:

“From there.”

Not from some imaginary future version of yourself.

Not from the person you wish you had become.

Not from the spiritual condition you think you should have reached by now.

From there.

From where you are.

Turn toward God.

One sincere prayer can become the beginning of a journey home.

One opened Bible can become the doorway into renewed faith.

One honest confession can break years of hiding.

One act of obedience can redirect a life.

One decision to seek God again can become the first step into a season of restoration.

Do not despise beginnings.

And do not become discouraged when spiritual growth happens slowly.

Roots grow quietly.

Seeds spend time beneath the soil before anything appears above the ground.

God often works deeply before He works visibly.

Continue seeking.

There may come a day when you look backward and realize that God was shaping you during seasons when you thought nothing was happening.

The waiting was forming patience.

The uncertainty was teaching trust.

The disappointment was loosening your grip on lesser things.

The silence was deepening hunger.

The wilderness was revealing what truly mattered.

And through it all, God was drawing you closer.

Deuteronomy 4:29 gives us more than an instruction. It gives us hope.

There is somewhere to turn.

There is Someone to seek.

There is mercy beyond wandering.

There is restoration beyond failure.

There is presence beyond loneliness.

There is truth beyond confusion.

There is grace beyond guilt.

There is hope beyond despair.

And there is a God who can be found.

So whatever this day holds, make the pursuit of God your deepest pursuit.

Before chasing recognition, seek God.

Before surrendering to fear, seek God.

Before allowing worry to write tomorrow's story, seek God.

Before letting yesterday's failures define today, seek God.

When you do not know what decision to make, seek God.

When your heart is overflowing with gratitude, seek God.

When you feel spiritually empty, seek God.

When life is beautiful, seek God.

When life is painful, seek God.

Seek Him in Scripture.

Seek Him in prayer.

Seek Him in worship.

Seek Him in obedience.

Seek Him in quietness.

Seek Him among the people of God.

Seek Him through acts of mercy and love.

Seek Him when the road is clear.

Seek Him when the road disappears into the distance.

And seek Him with more than a divided heart.

Seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

There will always be countless voices asking for your attention. There will always be something else to chase. The world will continue offering temporary treasures and calling them ultimate.

But the soul was created for something greater.

It was created to know God.

And the promise still stands:

“You will find Him.”

Perhaps the most important journey you make today will not be measured in miles.

Perhaps it will simply be the movement of the heart toward God.

From distraction toward attention.

From self-reliance toward trust.

From fear toward faith.

From hiding toward honesty.

From wandering toward home.

Wherever you are, begin there.

Whatever has happened, begin there.

Whatever questions remain unanswered, begin there.

Whatever burdens you are carrying, begin there.

You do not have to know every step ahead.

You only need to turn toward the One who already knows the road.

Seek the Lord your God.

Seek Him sincerely.

Seek Him patiently.

Seek Him persistently.

Seek Him when you feel His nearness and when you must trust His promise.

Seek Him with your questions and your hopes, your weakness and your strength, your sorrow and your joy.

Seek Him with all your heart.

Seek Him with all your soul.

And when you discover that He was nearer than you imagined, remember this: the God you were seeking was already graciously calling you toward Himself.

From there, wherever “there” may be, the road toward God remains open.

Seeking You With All My Heart

A Morning Prayer Inspired by Deuteronomy 4:29

Gracious and eternal God, as this new day begins, I turn my heart toward You. Before the demands of the day begin to speak loudly, before responsibilities compete for attention, before worries begin to gather and plans begin to unfold, I seek You. You are the Lord my God, the One who was present through the night and who has graciously brought me into the light of another morning. You are the giver of life, the keeper of every breath, the source of every mercy, and the faithful God whose love does not diminish with the passing of time.

Your Word declares that when Your people seek You, they will find You when they seek You with all their heart and all their soul. So this morning, Lord, teach me what it means to seek You sincerely. Deliver me from a divided heart that wants Your comfort without Your presence, Your blessings without Your will, or Your guidance without surrender. Draw every scattered affection back toward You until my heart becomes attentive to Your voice and my soul becomes quiet before Your presence.

I do not want merely to think about You today. I want to seek You.

I do not want merely to speak Your name while my heart wanders elsewhere. I want to know You more deeply.

I do not want faith to become a habit emptied of wonder, prayer to become words emptied of longing, or worship to become activity without devotion. Awaken within me a holy hunger for You. Give me a heart that desires the Giver more than the gifts, the Shepherd more than the green pastures, and the Savior more than the blessings that come through His hands.

Lord, You have never been absent, even when I have failed to recognize Your presence. You have never ceased to be faithful, even when my attention has wandered. You have remained God through every changing season. You were present in yesterday's joys and disappointments, and You are already present in everything this day will contain.

Before I arrive at any moment today, You are there.

Before I face any decision, You are there.

Before I encounter any difficulty, You are there.

Before any unexpected circumstance interrupts my plans, You are there.

And because You are there, I do not enter this day alone.

Teach me to live with an awareness of Your presence. When life becomes hurried, remind me to seek You. When confusion comes, remind me to seek You. When good news fills my heart with joy, remind me to seek You. When disappointment weighs heavily upon me, remind me to seek You. When temptation approaches, remind me that satisfaction cannot be found in anything that draws my heart away from You.

Let seeking You become the posture of my entire life.

Your Word in Deuteronomy was spoken to people who were warned that wandering from You would bring sorrow and exile. Yet even in that warning, Your mercy was shining. You promised that even from a place of distance, loss, and brokenness, those who turned again toward You could find You.

What astonishing mercy this reveals.

You are not a God who delights in hiding from repentant hearts. You are not reluctant to receive those who return. You do not demand that we repair ourselves before approaching You. You call us to turn toward You with sincerity because You are already the God of compassion and covenant faithfulness.

Thank You that failure does not have to be the final chapter.

Thank You that wandering does not have to become permanent exile.

Thank You that spiritual dryness does not mean You have ceased to be near.

Thank You that even from "there"—from whatever place of weariness, disappointment, confusion, regret, or distance we may find ourselves—we may seek You.

And when we seek You with all our heart and soul, You promise that You may be found.

Lord, search my heart this morning. Reveal whatever competes with You for its deepest allegiance. Expose the idols that disguise themselves as ordinary desires. Show me where success has become too important, where approval has gained too much power, where comfort has become an unquestioned master, where fear has begun directing my decisions, or where resentment has occupied space that belongs to love.

Do not merely rearrange the surface of my life. Work deeply within me.

Create in me an undivided heart.

Purify my motives.

Order my desires.

Renew my thoughts.

Shape my choices.

Teach my soul to say that You are enough.

There are many voices in this world telling me what I should seek. Some tell me to seek recognition. Others tell me to seek possessions, influence, comfort, security, pleasure, achievement, or control. Yet none of these can carry the weight of the human soul. They may offer temporary satisfaction, but they cannot provide eternal life. They may occupy attention, but they cannot heal the deepest wounds of the heart.

Only You can.

You created us for communion with Yourself. Our deepest hunger points beyond everything creation can provide. We may attempt to satisfy the soul with countless substitutes, but ultimately our hearts were made for You.

Therefore, Father, let this day begin not with frantic striving but with holy seeking.

Let prayer become more than asking You to bless my plans. Let prayer become surrender to Your purposes.

Let Scripture become more than information for my mind. Let Your Word penetrate my heart, correct my thinking, expose deception, strengthen faith, and shape the way I live.

Let worship become more than songs or words. Let my entire life become an offering of gratitude and obedience before You.

Let love become more than sentiment. Teach me to love through patience, forgiveness, generosity, truthfulness, compassion, and faithful service.

As I seek You, Lord, lead me to Jesus Christ, for in Him Your heart has been revealed most fully. In Christ, You have not merely waited for humanity to find its way back to You. You have come seeking the lost. The eternal Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The Son entered our broken world, carried our griefs, bore our sin, suffered the cross, conquered death, and rose in victory.

In Jesus, we discover that our seeking for God is surrounded by God's greater pursuit of us.

Before we loved You, You loved us.

Before we called upon You, Your grace was already at work.

Before we could cross the distance created by sin, Christ crossed that distance for us.

Therefore, I seek You this morning not as a stranger trying to persuade a distant God to listen, but through Christ as one invited to draw near. I come not trusting in my worthiness but in Your grace. I come not presenting the strength of my devotion but depending upon the faithfulness of Jesus.

Thank You for the cross, where mercy and justice meet.

Thank You for the resurrection, where death's claim was broken.

Thank You for the Holy Spirit, who dwells within Your people and turns our hearts toward You.

Holy Spirit, awaken my soul today. Where I am spiritually sleepy, wake me. Where I am distracted, gather my attention. Where I am discouraged, strengthen me. Where I am stubborn, soften me. Where I am fearful, remind me of the Father's love. Where I am tempted, give me strength to choose what honors Christ.

Teach me to recognize Your work in ordinary moments.

Help me seek You while driving, working, speaking, listening, eating, resting, serving, planning, and waiting. Remind me that Your presence is not confined to special places or religious moments. Every ordinary moment can become holy when it is lived consciously before You.

Lord, guide the decisions I must make today. Some may appear small, others significant, but I place them all before You. Give me wisdom that is shaped by truth rather than impulse. Guard me against decisions driven merely by fear, pride, impatience, or the desire to please others.

Where I need to speak, give me gracious words.

Where I need to remain silent, give me restraint.

Where I need courage, strengthen me.

Where I need patience, steady me.

Where I need to forgive, soften my heart.

Where I need to apologize, humble me.

Where I need to act, keep me from hesitation.

Where I need to wait, keep me from rushing ahead.

Order my steps according to Your wisdom.

I also place before You the people I will encounter today. Every person carries burdens I may not see. Some are grieving. Some are afraid. Some are lonely. Some are discouraged. Some are questioning whether anyone notices their pain. Some may appear strong while quietly struggling beneath the surface.

Make me attentive.

Keep me from moving through the day so quickly that I fail to see the people You place before me.

Give me eyes that notice.

Give me ears that listen.

Give me words that encourage.

Give me hands willing to serve.

Let the grace I have received become grace extended to others.

If someone is difficult, teach me patience.

If someone wounds me, guard me from bitterness.

If someone needs help, make me willing.

If someone rejoices, help me rejoice with them.

If someone weeps, give me compassion to stand beside them.

May the character of Christ become visible through the way I treat others.

Father, I bring before You the burdens already waiting in my mind this morning. You know every concern before I name it. You know the unanswered questions, unfinished responsibilities, financial pressures, family concerns, difficult relationships, uncertain decisions, and hidden fears.

I surrender them to You.

I cannot control everything that will happen today, but I can entrust everything to You.

You are God, and I am not.

There is freedom in that confession.

The world does not rest upon my shoulders. The future is not sustained by my ability to predict it. My life is held in hands far stronger than mine.

When anxiety tries to convince me that everything depends upon me, remind me that You are sovereign.

When fear tells me that tomorrow is dangerous because I cannot see it, remind me that tomorrow is already known to You.

When disappointment whispers that You have forgotten me, remind me of the cross.

When loneliness says that I am abandoned, remind me of Your promise never to leave Your people.

When weakness tells me that I cannot continue, remind me that Your strength is made known in human weakness.

Lord, teach me to seek You not only when I need answers but when no answer comes.

Teach me to seek You when doors open and when they close.

Teach me to seek You when prayers are answered quickly and when waiting stretches longer than expected.

Teach me to seek You in abundance and in scarcity, in laughter and in tears, in certainty and in mystery.

May my faith not depend upon circumstances being easy. Let it rest upon Your character.

You are good when the road is clear.

You are good when the road disappears into fog.

You are faithful when prayers are answered according to my hopes.

You remain faithful when Your wisdom leads differently than I expected.

You are worthy of worship when life feels full of blessing.

You remain worthy when the heart is aching.

My circumstances change, but You do not.

As this morning unfolds, give me a deeper desire for holiness. Keep me from treating sin lightly. Help me recognize that anything separating my heart from Your will is too costly to cherish. Give me courage to turn away from what corrupts, deceives, hardens, or distracts.

Let repentance be a daily returning to You.

And when I fail, keep me from hiding.

When shame tells me to run away, remind me to run toward Your mercy.

When I stumble, lift me.

When I confess, cleanse me.

When I wander, call me home.

Let grace never become an excuse for carelessness but the power that teaches me to live differently.

Lord, there is something beautiful about Your promise: "You will find Him."

Not merely answers.

Not merely direction.

Not merely relief.

You.

The greatest gift of seeking God is God Himself.

Let that truth settle deeply within me today. May I never reduce prayer to a method for obtaining what I want. May I never treat You merely as the solution to my problems. You are the treasure. You are the inheritance. You are the fountain of living water. You are the bread of life. You are the light in darkness, the refuge in storms, the shepherd of wandering souls, and the Father who welcomes His children home.

If I have You, then even in seasons of uncertainty I possess a hope circumstances cannot destroy.

Give me a wholehearted faith today.

Not a perfect faith, but a sincere one.

Not a faith without questions, but a faith that brings its questions to You.

Not a faith untouched by weakness, but a faith that knows where to turn when weakness comes.

Not a faith that depends upon emotion, but one rooted in Your steadfast character.

Teach me to seek You with all my heart and all my soul.

May there be no hidden room within me where I refuse Your authority. May there be no ambition I will not surrender, no fear I will not entrust to You, no wound I will not allow You to touch, and no dream I value more than Your will.

Take this day, Lord.

Take my thoughts before they become words.

Take my words before they become actions.

Take my actions and make them instruments of Your grace.

Take my plans and reshape them according to Your wisdom.

Take my interruptions and use them for purposes I may not immediately understand.

Take my strengths and employ them for service.

Take my weaknesses and make them places where Your power is revealed.

Take my whole life and teach me to live it before Your face.

And when evening comes, may I look back and recognize traces of Your presence throughout the day: a needed word, unexpected strength, quiet protection, an opportunity to serve, wisdom at the right moment, patience that could only have come from Your Spirit, or peace that remained even when circumstances were difficult.

Above all, let me recognize that You were near.

This morning I seek You, Lord.

I seek You not because You are lost, but because my heart so easily becomes distracted.

I seek You not because You are distant, but because I need my eyes opened again to Your nearness.

I seek You not to earn Your love, but because Your love has already invited me near.

I seek You with my questions and hopes, my weaknesses and gifts, my unfinished growth and imperfect faith.

I seek You with all that I am.

And I trust Your promise that those who sincerely seek You will find You.

So lead me into this day with a heart turned toward You.

May Christ go before me.

May Your Spirit dwell within me.

May Your Word guide me.

May Your grace sustain me.

May Your love flow through me.

May Your peace guard me.

And in every place this day takes me, may my soul continue its deepest prayer:

Lord, I seek You.

When I am busy, I seek You.

When I am uncertain, I seek You.

When I am joyful, I seek You.

When I am weary, I seek You.

When I understand, I seek You.

When I do not understand, I seek You.

Through every hour and every circumstance, keep drawing my heart toward Yourself until seeking You becomes the rhythm of my life and knowing You becomes the treasure above every other treasure.

Into Your faithful hands I place this morning, this day, and all that lies beyond it.

Through Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord.

Amen.
