He has been quieting and softening my heart for some time now.
He has been so faithful.
He has been so loving.
I needed community, He provided.
I needed a place to live, He provided.
I needed summer plans, He provided.
I needed to get into my major, He provided.
I needed money for school, He provided.
I needed plans for spring break, He provided.
I needed healing, He provided.
I needed strength, He provided.
I needed wisdom, He provided.
Jeremiah 29:12 says "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you."
Even when I felt as though I was throwing my words into Heaven, that I was an insignificant part of His plan, He provided.
There is nothing He loves more than to bless His children.
The funny thing is, all this could be gone tomorrow. Plans could fall through. Money could disappear. People could betray me. My heart could break again.
But even through it all, I know He has it worked out.
You see, before that verse about prayer, He says something else. He says, "For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
He knows what we need. He knows before we ask. But He says, I will listen when you call upon me.
He wants to hear us say we love Him.
And in that moment of wholly surrender, we will find Him.
Verse 13 says, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
He is there and He is big and He is waiting for us to find Him.
Pray to Him. Pray with all of your heart and let him answer those prayers.
Seek Him.
Seek guidance.
Seek refuge.
Seek strength.
Seek joy.
Seek love.
Seek Him with all of your heart.
He longs to hear you call out His name.
And He cannot wait to pour out His blessings when you finally do.
