“You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart. I will be found by you’” - Jeremiah 29:13-14b

In our daily lives, there can be so much to do and so many expectations to meet. Whether it’s homework, appointments, practice, or even time spent with friends and family. With so much to commit to, when do we find the time to connect with God?
Sometimes we go through a whole day or longer before we finally remember to spend time with the Lord. Once we finally get there, it’s easy to doubt and think things such as: Why would He want to connect with me after I’ve waited this long? Where do I start back up? Are you still there God? I know you haven’t heard from me in a while.
Guess what? We have a loving Father who can’t wait to embrace us wherever we are, whenever the time! In God’s Word, the prophet Jeremiah encourages us to seek after the Lord even in the midst of chaos. Jeremiah 29:13 shows us the heart of God as He invites us to spend time with Him. It’s like someone inviting you over to their home because they want to spend time with you. Just like we prioritize relationships in our lives- it is important to do the same in your relationship with the Lord! The Creator of the universe wants to spend time with you, and He wants you to learn all about Him too.
We can seek the Lord through reading the Bible, talking to God through prayer, spending time with other believers, listening to sermons or Christian podcasts or jamming out to worship music. Connecting with the Lord can and should become part of our daily routine.
