Seek Me With All Your Heart!
“If you will seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me,” says The LORD.
“I AM not hiding from you. I will not reject you or cast you aside. I will hear your prayers and answer them, and as you call upon My name, you will be saved, healed and delivered,” says The LORD.
“I will always be your place of safety. I will shelter you, secure you, and be your constant keeper that will guard you, night and day.
“You can rest, assured that I will be with you, to help you, and cause you to succeed, not fail,” says The LORD.
“Your success story is wrapped up in Me, who is the author and finisher of your faith,” says The LORD.
“I AM your beginning, and your end, and I do all things well. Only as you rely upon Me, will you be able to rest in Me.
“As you trust in My Care, you will be carefree, knowing that I cannot and will not fail you. You can shift all your care upon Me, and be confident that all is well and it will go well for you, because I will take care of all that you entrust to Me, and complete every good work that I have begun in you,” says The LORD.
Prayer
LORD, I look to You to turn things around for me, that my mourning will be changed into dancing, my sorrow into joy.
Though I have been dressed in bleak widow’s garments and my tears continually flow, You will gird me with gladness as You heal me, deliver me, liberate Me, because I trust in You.
I will continually praise You and forever give You thanks, because you will rescue me and renew my strength!

To those who’ve posted that they feel basically abandoned: I have been there, done all, sought Him, expected healing & deliverance through loss of my only child,bleak living, hardship health, so much loss. One thing I know is, I hold on to the hem of His garmet. Considering the alternative, abandoning the Lover of my soul is not an option.
Paul says he considers these things to be light affliction compared to the eternal weight of the eternal glory that is to be revealed in us. Blessed are those who believe and have not seen. I’m praying for those who are struggling, I’m praying for myself! Please don’t lose heart, cling and trust, no matter how impossible, lonely and tired, just hold on. Our King is coming. Our Kinsman redeemer is coming (No date setting!!! But in His PERFECT TIMING). He loves all of us beyond comprehension. We’re all being pressed in the furnace of affliction to refine us and make us pure. HalleluYah!! Bo Yeshua. BO! Make your Bride ready! Don’t give up at the end of this journey, push down the pain, endure and overcome to the end. It will all be worth it!!!
Amen.
really? honestly God? then where are you? I’ve loved my enemies. blessed them. forgiven. I’ve uprooted bitterness. no gossip. i have tried to live by your word even when it ripped my heart out and I was left alone sobbing on the the floor.
I’ve been a universal doormat.thats what it feels like. you are supposed to defend me. restore. heal. strengthen.
im not supposed to be ashamed of waiting on you
you are supposed to be my ishi…and in that ketuba you are supposed to care for my basic needs.
I’m tired. and so broken. and so deeply hurt
where are you.
word after word after word
and it just keeps getting worse.
i am worshipping thru this
i stopped complaining.
i have cried out your promises inspite of how I feel.
were
are
you
Dear Lost One,
I hesitated to respond. God is right where you are. You are never alone and He has not left you. He is speaking to you. It may not be in the way you expect. It is that passage that stands out to you when you read His Word and when you find that you are seeing that same passage repeatedly over and over again. That is our Lord talking to you. It may be something you hear while watching a movie and He talks through the authors on His Kingdom Prophecy. He knows what you have need of. He wants you to trust Him. The devil will tell you God has forgotten you and that He doesn’t care, but our Lord says He calls you His beloved, and that He is always with you. He is your dreaded champion and therefore the enemy will not prevail, and will be utterly ashamed when he realizes he has failed and his disgrace will not be forgotten. I repeat that verse often. Our Lord loves, and nothing can separate you from His Love.
I’ve done this, and this, and that, and that, and the other.
I’m tired and I’m having a hard time believing you care about me.
When are you going to accept my works as payment for the blessings you’ve promised?
I can’t go on like this. I can’t think of another thing to do to please you enough that you will begin to look on me with favor.
Beloved, your heart doesn’t believe that you are worthy of my care, my concern, my consideration. Ask me to change your understanding so that this word becomes alive to you. Be willing to release your transactional viewpoint of our relationship where you have to earn my regard. I care deeply about you and am eager to be close friends with you, to have a relationship with you based on love. That kind of friendship will set me free to rescue you, bring you freedom, restoration, and a good future.
Job is considered a book of wisdom but tells of a bitter test.many people don’t believe his story applies to us in times of great suffering. when I felt this same way you felt I stumbled upon these chapters Job 28-38 that help me complete my story and find breakthrough . But it was only when wisdom began to speak in these scriptures and then 38-41 God finally speaks and in the end God didn’t restore Job until he was truly at peace with God and a peace with his friends. He had to forgive his friends and truly submit and forgive himself and God for thinking he right. Submitting to God in a hard situation is beyond confusing when you’re fighting him the entire way. I’ve done it for years and you know what? I found out all he wanted was you to say yes and amen no matter how hard it is. No questions no complaints no self righteousness cuz you ain’t never right even when he is allowing hard situations over you. ‘Rest in me’ is words used constantly. Many times I get back up from that rest going back and forth having my way. Finding myself in the same emotional anxiety. There is no rest in that You’re never right no matter how much you think you are. Only God is. Find rest in his mercy.and let his peace find you. Don’t fight just submit.
