Seeking God with All Your Heart: An Invitation to Intimacy ― Priscilla Shirer, Fervent
“Seeking God with All Your Heart: An Invitation to Intimacy”
The act of prayer is one of the most powerful ways for humans to connect with the divine. It is a way for us to speak to our Creator, to express our hopes and fears, and to seek guidance and comfort. And as the verse from Jeremiah 29:12-13 reminds us, when we call upon God and pray to Him with all our hearts, He promises to listen and to reveal Himself to us. This truth is a source of great hope and encouragement for those who are seeking to deepen their relationship with God.
One of the most important aspects of prayer is sincerity. When we come to God with all our heart, we are being authentic and transparent with Him. We are not hiding our true selves or putting on a façade, but instead, we are laying bare our souls before Him. And when we do this, we can be sure that He is listening and that He cares.
Another important aspect of prayer is the act of seeking God. When we are earnestly searching for Him, He promises to reveal Himself to us. This search can take many forms, from reading scripture and meditating on it, to spending time in nature or engaging in acts of service. But the most important thing is that we are actively seeking Him, with an open and willing heart.
One person who exemplifies this kind of prayer is author and speaker Priscilla Shirer. Through her books, Bible studies, and conferences, she encourages others to seek God with all their heart, and to develop an intimate relationship with Him through prayer. She encourages others to be authentic, transparent and humble while they speak to God.
In conclusion, prayer is a powerful tool that we can use to connect with God and to seek Him with all our heart. When we are sincere and earnest in our pursuit of Him, He promises to reveal Himself to us and to listen to our prayers. We can take inspiration from people like Priscilla Shirer who exemplify the act of seeking God with all their heart and encourages others to do the same. As we deepen our connection with God through prayer, we will find an unshakable peace, guidance, and comfort that can only come from our Creator.
