People, it's time to seek God as never before. Don't run to man first for the answer to your questions. Don't run to man first for the sollution to your problem. Seek God. Go to HIM! Don't go to everyone except God. Go to God!!! When you have a prayer need, pray to God FIRST before you ask others to pray for you. God MUST be first, and it must be HIM you are seeking above all.
My people are not seeking Me. They are not looking for Me. They are looking everywhere else for sollutions and answers. When I alone have sollutions and answers. Come to Me! Seek Me! Pursue Me! Run after me as after fine gold! For I am the treasure above all! There is NOTHING to compare with me!
My people are BUSY. They are filling their lives with busyness, because they think it will satisfy. They think when they have a problem if they just stay busy, they can avoid thinking about it. Being busy WILL NOT make the problem go away! It will still be there. BUSY is not the answer!!! I AM the answer!!!
My children MUST become still and cease from activity. Only in Me, in spending time one on one with Me, will my children find the answers they seek. I AM THE ANSWER.
Do not run around and stay busy, my children. Come and spend time with Me. I long for you to spend time with Me. I love You, and I want your time. Don't give it to someone and anything else. Give it to Me. Me alone.
That is the problem in the church. My people don't love Me. They don't spend time with Me. They spend time with everything else but Me. They want to stay busy and seek answers.... But they froget that only I can satisfy. It is only in slowing down, in ceasing from activity and getting alone with Me, that they will find those answers they seek. That they will find ME, for I AM THE ANSWER! The busyness is supposed to be the sollution to the problem ("Don't sit home and stew," is the theory). But being busy solves nothing! It only leads to burn out!
I am asking my children to become STILL. To become quiet. To shut up. Don't speak. Listen. Become still and listen. Don't you know I have the answers? How can you hear them if you are buxy? SLOW DOWN! Where are you going? Get back here and spend time with me.
(I hear God sigh; I see disappointment on his face. I am sad that I often cause that dissapointment.)
Do you realize how much God loves you? I see his hands outstretched, nail prints still visible.... He loves us so much! He reaches out to us, longingly. Do you understand? He LONGS to spend time with us! What are you doing? Watching TV? Going out with friends? Writing a letter? Reading a book? Chatting on the phone? Visitng family? Oh, dear child of God, what would you cancel out of your schedule, to spend time with God? What is worth that precious time you could spend with Him? Do any of these things really satisfy? Are they really worth it? Not that they are even wrong, but.... who will prioritize God? Who will put him FIRST and NUMBER ONE?
Where are His children who will seek Him and let nothing get in the way?
Children, it's time to quit seeking God's hand. We do not want the miracles. We WANT GOD!!! God IS the miracle!!! Take the whole world but give me Jesus....

Amen Jesus very good word for your children to hear!!!! Jesus do this cut off everything around your children that they are clinging to that is distracting them from seeking you... Replace the things they are holding onto with you and your presence... Let there be a thud and a wall when they try to do anything else but seek your face in prayer.... Let the enjoyments your children have be only in resting in you and seeking you.. Drain all your children of strength when they are not seeking your face or resting in you as a signal to get into you and seek you alone..

Sorry, Lord, that I have not given You time recently. So many things I think I need or want to do.
And they are not going to add anything quality to my life. I have not read Your Word, either. And YOU are Your Word. Oh, Lord, I just need to get in withi You so bad. Don't give up me! Just keep calling me! Now, I'm in the middle of moving, and I pray that goes quickly and efficiently! Then, I will have my own bedroom to spend lots of time with You, distraction free. I pray I REALLY follow through and do it! Dear Lord, I need YOU so bad! So much has been going on, and I have a million and one escuses not to spend time with You....
Help!!! I keep promising You (ha! It's not a promise if I don't keep it!) that I will set aside time for you, then I get busy, again, doing what I want to do. Oh, dear Lord, I pray for mercy. Help me WANT TO spend time with You. I heard of a work oppurtunity I can do right from my home, and it's legitimate according to some folks who are doing it. So.... maybe that would free up time. If I can make more than my other job, maybe I could work less hours. Not having to leave my home would save some time, too. Dear Lord, whatever all of this means, I pray that I WILL spend time with You. I simply post this prayer, because I need help in this. I know You love me and want to fill me so full of You in my quiet times with You. I know only You can satisfy and that only You are worth pursuing. Or do I? My head knows. My heart is far from you. My mind tells me to do other things. Of course, I have to pack to move. I thank You that I do see light at the end of that tunnel. Please keep helping me with that. Let it go swiftly, so I can free up time for You. I just love You, and know I am not showing it like I should, as LOVE is spelled T-I-M-E. Oh, Lord, I post this from the cry of my heart and to echo the cry of other people's hearts. I pray all who read this come in agreement, that they, too, may once again draw close to You. Multiply this prayer many times over. For each person who reads it, let it be one more prayer for intimacy with You. And let it be transferred to the desires of each who reads it. Give us a group on here who will daily encourage each other to pursure You, only You. We need You so desparately. What can we do without You? Yet we pursure a million and more other things....
Lord, have mercy!!!
