Seek the Lord (Poem)

I want to seek You in the quiet,
and seek You in the noise.
I want to seek You in the joys,
and when life's getting me down.
I want to seek You through it all,
when I fly or when I fall.

I want to seek You in the chaos of this life,
and seek You in the calm moments.
I want to seek You when I feel broken,
and when You make me feel whole.
You are in control, that's a definite fact I know.

I want to seek You Lord,
through prayer and through Your Word.
I want to seek You when life is tough,
and when it's going good.
You are always enough.

Help me to seek You with all my heart.
Help me to give You all my broken parts.
Help me to love You with all of me,
for You're the One who set me free.
Help me to find You somehow.
I'm going to seek You right now.

It's easy to get caught up in life and to make excuses of why we don't fully seek God... I'm not pointing fingers or judging, if I were, the first finger would point at me.
The thing is, sometimes we go through times of waiting, or struggles, or growth - but through all of those times we should still seek God. It's hard to seek Him when it seems like He's not listening, or in the noise and chaos of life... but when we truly seek Him we'll find Him.
Some ways to do this to to spend time in His Word and prayer. It's hard to find time to  really get into God's Word, if you try you'll find time. You may have to cut back how much you read your book or how much TV you watch, etc.... but in the light of eternity isn't it worth it?

There are going to be times where you seek the Lord and you can see Him clearly, but there will be times when you have to search really hard to see Him. Sometimes it's not in a big way. Maybe He won't open the skies to talk to you but maybe He's gently showing you the way through a Bible verse that you've been thinking about recently, or encouraging you through a fellow believer in Christ. Often we don't see Him when He's right in front of us.
Remember, He's with you always.

Let's seek Him with all of us, and strive to love Him with all of us.
