Getting Ready-21 Days of PrayerExemplo

Hide and seek- it’s a game that we all played as a kid. That feeling of waiting in anticipation for the other kid to find you sometimes felt like years. Are they close? When will they ever find me? Sometimes in our faith, we can feel like we are hiding from God. Maybe we are ashamed of what we have done or not feeling spiritual enough to come to Him with our fears and failures. But our God is always close. We never have to wonder if He will find us during our seasons of hiding. But instead, He waits for us to seek Him which can seem quite opposite from the childhood game.

In Jeremiah 29:13 God makes us a promise saying that if we seek Him with our whole heart in spirit and in truth that we will find Him. Let us, therefore, with wholeness of heart and diligence of mind, freely abandon the hide and seek game and solely seek God this year. 

Challenge: Have you been hiding from God? What are some ways you can seek after Him this year? 

Prayer Prompt: God, I want to know you more and I pray that as I seek you through your Word this year, that I would draw closer to you. Put it on my heart a desire to seek you more. Amen.
