Psalm 13:1 tells us that “How long will You hide Your face from me.”
Job 13:24 declares that “why do you hide Your face, and regard me as Your enemy”
Psalm 44:24 also tells us that “Why do you hide Your face and forget our affliction and our oppression.”
Surely, GOD hides from us so that we would seek Him more. It feels as though when we pray sometimes, that GOD does not come through soon enough, does not answer our prayers soon enough, but truly, if our prayers are answered immediately, will we still seek Him?
GOD desire that we seek Him with all our heart, to spend quality time with Him and pray from our heart. He also loves to hear the praises of His children. (Putting on our Spiritual Jacket always). For it is written, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise.” (Psalm 100:4) Please tell Him how much you love Him.
Please listen to the next chapter and verse.
Jeremiah 29:13 says “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
It is very important that we pray from our heart, seek The LORD from our heart, also praise and worship Him from our heart. He said “Amba, pray from your heart.” I am now pleading with you my brothers and sisters to please pray and praise from your heart. Most of us pray and worship while thinking about other things, for example, issues of life. (distractions from the enemy).
Psalm 47:7 says “Sing praises with understanding.” even the praise and worship songs and its meaning should also remain in your heart.
In closing, if you have not surrendered your heart to The Lord for total cleansing, for total transformation, please do so, so that the old man in you will be removed, for we are a new creation. He will then help you to forgive everyone that has hurt you, His peace will be then deposited in your heart.
The steps—Surrender-Forgive-Receive Peace.
Do good, love and be kind towards one another, tender hearted.
Blessings!!
