Responsive God

If you look for the LORD, you will find him. ~ 2 Chronicles 15:2 (ERV -- part)

Everyone who asks, receives. Whoever seeks, finds. To everyone who knocks, the door is opened. ~ Luke 11:10 (CEB)

Lord, again, we see that you respond to people. That is amazing because you have more responsibility than we can imagine. Thank you for paying attention to us and what is important to us. I confess, though, that I do not always pay attention to you. I am not always willing to receive what you give or excited about what I find after I seek. That is because I'm still more interested in me than in you. So, I am asking you to heal me of that inclination. I will continue to seek you, trusting that you will make the changes in me that are needed. Amen.
