A Prayer About Seeking God

A prayer about Seeking God

When I want to know God more

Lord God,

You are majestic and powerful, yet compassionate and gracious. Your thoughts are so far above mine that I will never be able to plumb the depths of your wisdom and love. I want to know you more. And your Word promises that when I seek you, I will find you. May I seek to discover you through your Word, which is filled with accounts of your actions throughout history, your concern for individuals, your plans for creation, your promises, and your commands. Teach me always to turn to the Bible when I want to know more of your character, your redemptive plan, and your truth. I will never know you fully in this life, but as I read your Word and spend time with you, my knowledge of you will grow—as will my desire to seek you.

My child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands. Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. Then you will understand what it means to fear the LORD, and you will gain knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5
