Strength.

Jesus, I really need You to seek You. You know how Your word says, "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near" (Isaiah 55:6)? Well, yeah of course You know cause You are the Word (LOL). Well, I need strength to do that. There is so much that comes my way on a daily basis that tries to distract me from doing just that. Now I understand why You sometimes had to send the multitude away just to pray to Your Father.

What would that look like in the 21st century? I can just imagine myself at a hangout with friends like, "hey y'all so I gotta go." No further explanation (to them) but You know what's up.

Or how about when I sleep through my (many) alarms to spend time with You. I often wake up RIGHT before I have to leave for work or other things. Sometimes I get frustrated that I can't consistently wake up at a certain time to be with You. My heart desires it but the flesh is weak. I have to admit, I love sleep too much *side eye*. I get really annoyed when someone wakes me up out of my sleep.

I say all this to say, I need Your strength to seek You. I need Your strength to "send the crowd away" or to deny hangouts simply because I'd rather be with You. I want You to be the one I spend the most time with out of all my friends. Help me to seek You.
