How to Seek God

Seek God by faith. That is confidence and trust in God. It's not faith in your faith. Rather, it's confidence in the promises of God. The promises of God are found in your Bible. They are covenant promises that are steadfast and sure. Here is a promise for those who seek God. "So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him" (Hebrews 11:6, NLT).

Seek God through prayer. The foundation for prayer is the promises of God's good will. It's seeking God and receiving from his goodness. God is a loving, compassionate, and kind Father. He is not reluctant to do good things in the lives of all of his children. No good thing does he withhold from his children. Those who seek God by faith know the goodness of God.

By faith seek God as your Father. Put your confidence in his ability to do good things in your life. Believe his mercy and grace. Understand that we are not on a merit system in God's family. Grace is his unmerited favor. Let the Father love you and do good things in your life.

Seek God with confidence through Jesus Christ. Through prayer seek your Father through the name of Jesus. Those who seek God by faith know "that he rewards those who sincerely seek him."
