What to pray for?

Matt 6:33
Do Not Worry

…32 "For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The great promise to those who seek the Lord is that he will be found.
“If you seek him, he will be found by you”
(1 Chronicles 28:9).

Then when he is found, there is great reward.
“Whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

God himself is our greatest reward. And when we have him, we have everything.
Therefore, “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!”

** Obstacles to Avoid
And there are endless obstacles that we must get around in order to see him clearly, and so that we can be in the light of his presence. We must flee spiritually dulling activities. We must run from them and get around them. Because They are blocking our way.

We can know what makes us vitally sensitive to God’s appearances in this world and in His Word. Plus we can also know what dulls us or blinds us and makes us not even want to seek him. These things we must move away from and go around if we would see God.

** That is what seeking God involves.

And as we direct our minds and hearts God-ward in all our experiences, we cry out to him. This too is what seeking him means.

“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near.” (Isaiah 55:6)

"If you will seek God and plead with the Almighty for mercy . . . ” (Job 8:5)

Suggested Prayer:  {But not the only prayer}

Oh Lord, open my eyes. Oh Lord, pull back the curtain of my own blindness. Lord, have mercy and reveal yourself. That I may see your face.
In the mighty name of   Yeshua Hamashia....
