I bet some when some people hear others talking about "seeking God" they really wish they knew what it meant and what they do in order to seek God.
The term "seek" is a verb denoting a action. You are engaged in a process. How is that? are your getting a backpack full and starting on a journey to the City of God as if its a certain distance away? haha no it's more of a mind set i'll give you a encouragement and some ways to start. -Kevin
Sometimes seeking God takes alot of work, takes days, weeks, even months to find what you have been seeking God for. It starts slow, you may have to force yourself to open up your Bible and look for a word and you pray for a few minutes. Then the next day and you read a little bit longer searching harder for God to say something to your situation, but cant find anything so you pray a little bit longer and harder. You get discourage but keep at it. Then a week goes by and you are starting to read atleast a hour and pray for a hour.
Then suddenly slowly, or randomly, all the things you have been reading and praying about come together in a spiritual way, and your mind and soul find a truth or answers to prayer that is pure comfort or revelation exactly for your situation. You get hit with the fact God really has been leading you the whole time, as soon as you set your heart to seek Him.
Many times the presence of God comes to you in your mind and heart, completely covered with the peace that surpasses all understanding, once you have sought genuinely Him through prayer and Scripture. Even if you are seeking a escape from a long term temptation or simple stuff like "I want to know You Lord". This is a promise that if you seek God you will find Him. You have sought God with as much of your heart as you know how to use and found Him, and He blesses you. I promise, no, God promises if you seek Him you will find Him no matter where you are at.
Jeremiah 29:12- You will seek Me, and you will find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.
