June 20–Heart for the Lord–Day 20–SEEKING HEART
\nBut from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.<\/em>\u00a0 Deuteronomy 4:29 NKJV<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/u><\/p>\n

The Lord told Israel to “Seek Me and live;”<\/em> Amos 5:4 NKJV<\/p>\n

A Seeking Heart is always trying to find God’s will in all situations. It is always trying to see God at work in every situation.\u00a0 It is always attempting to please the Lord.\u00a0 It searches His word daily and seeks to live His way.<\/p>\n

Prayer of the Heart to the Lord:<\/u><\/p>\n

Dear Lord,
\ntoday I ask that You create in me a Seeking Heart so I can find Your will and live Your way.<\/p>\n

I want a heart that searches Your word daily and seeks to live according to it. I want a heart that truly seeks after You night and day, for then I will understand how to live and walk in your ways.<\/p>\n

Thank You Lord.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n

Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.<\/em> Psalm 119:2 NIV<\/p>\n
