Seek the Lord

 Ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)

 The Lord wants us to be happy, and thanks to Him, we usually are. But there should be times when we really seek the Lord for a needed change and pray desperately, pouring out our hearts to the Lord.
 All our little prayers may be sincere, but there are also times when we need to get desperate in prayer about serious situations that arise. There are times when we really need to get down to business with the Lord.
 Some people tend to have sort of a lazy attitude and seem to think that the Lord will just do it all no matter what. But the truth of the matter is that a lot depends on us, our will and our actions and prayers.
 Although God can do anything, He has committed Himself to work through you, and your prayers can do mighty things.
 When you cry unto Him with a whole heart, He promises, “I will answer thee.” —DBB [1]

 The soul that minimizes prayer remains asphyxiated; if it excludes all invocation, it slowly strangles itself. —Gianfranco Ravasi
