Seeking The Lord
What aspects of your spiritual walk do you struggle with? Even if you feel you can’t talk to anyone else about them, you can email an online mentor, confidentially.
Please open your Bible and read:
(Colossians 3:1 – 2)
Most people have the idea that Christianity is defined by praying, giving, sharing their faith, and being good. But real faith is also a daily yearning for more knowledge of and intimacy with the Lord.
A believer’s spirit can be wholly satisfied with the presence of Jesus Christ living within, and yet still remain thirsty.

One of Christianity’s basic principles is that the more we know of the Lord, the more we want to learn of Him. If we are to seek God rather than worldly riches, our desire for Him must be stronger than any other longing we have.
We gain life’s “good things” – what God wills for us – by seeking Him. A mind set on finding material success will miss the spiritually fulfilling path. However, pursuing the Lord doesn’t imply abandoning plans and dreams; it simply means we prayerfully subject our hopes to His will.
As we strive to know God, our desires change to reflect His. Our Father in turn takes responsibility for His children and puts our goals within reach. He gives us all the good things our God – shaped heart wants.
