pray for a relationship with God – the time to nurture our connection with Him is always now.

Message: In today’s fast-paced world, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that we are too young, too independent, too happy, too busy, too tired, or even too late to seek God. Each of these mindsets can create a barrier between us and our Creator, leading us to postpone our spiritual journey until circumstances seem more favorable. However, the scripture reminds us in Isaiah 55:6 to seek the Lord while He may be found. This call urges us to seize the moment, for the time to nurture our relationship with God is always now. The verse emphasizes that God is always near, waiting for us to reach out. It is important to understand that the barriers we perceive are often self-imposed. Seeking God is not merely an activity to be done when convenient; it is a vital necessity that enriches our lives and guides us through challenges. We are reminded that in every season of life, regardless of age or circumstance, there is an opportunity for connection with the divine. Let us choose to break free from excuses and actively seek God with our whole hearts. He desires to be found by us, offering peace, wisdom, and love that surpasses all understanding. Today, may we embrace the truth that there is never a wrong time to turn our hearts towards God. Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You today, acknowledging the many distractions and excuses that often creep into our lives, causing us to delay seeking You. We confess that at times we have felt too young or too independent, convincing ourselves that we can navigate life on our own. We have allowed our happiness or busyness to take precedence over our spiritual growth and connection with You. Forgive us for these moments of neglect, O Lord. Help us to recognize that no matter our circumstances, there is always an invitation to draw closer to You. Lord, instill within us a yearning to seek Your presence actively, to carve out moments in our busy schedules where we can pause and listen to Your voice. Allow us to realize that happiness does not mean the absence of God; rather, true happiness stems from our relationship with You. Teach us to prioritize our spiritual life, even when we feel tired or overwhelmed. May we be reminded that You are our source of strength and rejuvenation. As we petition for Your guidance today, we ask You to remove any barriers to our relationship with You. Help us to set aside our doubts and fears, embracing the truth that You are always near, ready to receive us with open arms. May we not wait for the perfect moment, for we understand that the best time to seek You is now. Fill our hearts with a deep desire to know You more, to love You more, and to serve You wholeheartedly. We thank You for always being available, for desiring a relationship with us, and for Your promises that affirm we are never too far gone. Let every breath we take be a step towards You, and every heartbeat remind us of Your unwavering love. Strengthen our resolve to seek You daily, that we may grow in faith and reflect Your light in the world. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
