Our connection with God can get a little tricky, especially since we don’t visibly see God. We are more likely to trust what we can see. If we’re honest about our faith, sometimes not seeing God makes it difficult to really feel like we’re connecting with God. We ask ourselves these questions: How do we know God’s listening? Will God ever speak back? How do we know God’s really there? Well, here we have a promise that if we seek after God with our whole hearts, we’ll find God.

If you want to see God at work and hear from God, sometimes you need to find a quiet place and hold space for God. In fact, this is something Christians have practiced for a really long time. Sitting quietly and reflecting on who God is or the ways God is working in your life can be one way to look for God. You can also dive into the Bible and ask God to talk to you through its stories and wisdom. You may not see or hear God visibly or audibly, but when you’re intentional about looking for God, you realize God is at work in your life and around you all the time.

Today, take time to intentionally seek God. Practice hearing God through Scripture and looking for God in the world around you.
