 Seeking God with All Our Hearts

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray to me, and I will harken unto you (Jeremiah 29:12).

". . . God invites His people to call on Him, come to Him in prayer, and assures them that He will listen to them. This verse reveals the loving and attentive nature of our Heavenly Father, who longs for a deep and intimate relationship with His children. It reminds us of the importance of seeking God with all our hearts."

"Seeking God involves more than just offering superficial prayers or going through religious motions. It requires a sincere and genuine pursuit of Him, acknowledging our need for His wisdom, strength, and grace."

"He knows us intimately and longs to connect with us in a personal and meaningful way. Seeking God with all our hearts also involves aligning our desires with his will."

"In our busy and often chaotic lives, it's easy to become distracted and lose sight of what truly matters. But when we prioritize seeking God with all our hearts, we discover the peace, joy, and fulfillment that can only come from Him. We find comfort in His presence, wisdom in His Word, and strength in His unfailing love."
