(1 Chronicles 16:11)
The verse speaks for itself. No situation, problem, circumstance, or person can out-do the power of God. We are given an answer to our prayers before they even escape our lips... we are to seek the Lord, seek His strength, and seek His face... continually! Not when we remember to, not after we try fixing a problem on our own, not according to an OCD agenda... the word of God says continually.
Prayer time doesn't always have to be about asking for help, reminding God of His promises, and naming off everyone we know... He knows our situation, He knows what He's promised us, and He is aware of all those in our lives that weigh heavy on our heart... He just wants us to find Him.
When you find something, you have to seek it out first. If you lose your car keys (and if you're anything like me), you dig through your purse (multiple times), scan every table in the house, flip over couch cushions, check the ignition... you seek out those keys until you know they are secure in your possession. Those are car keys! Shouldn't our time with God be handled with even greater care and effort than a set of replaceable car keys?
Our prayer time, our moments with God, should be spent seeking Him until we know He is secure in our possession, giving us a peace over everything that brought us to our knees in the first place without ever even having to mention them. He is that mighty... He can provide the peace that passes all understanding: if we seek Him.
