With my whole heart I seek you. Psalm 119:10.

When we love people deeply our hearts long for them. So it should be with our Lord Jesus. He is so good and kind, so loving and helpful, it makes sense for us to give Him our undivided devotion and attention. But that's not always how life works. Often we put foolish wants and wasteful pursuits far above our desire to spend time meditating on Him and His perfect will. Today, as you pray, focus on knowing Him better. He will reveal Himself to all who seek Him above all else.

The following is an anonymous requests:

• A man asks that we please pray for his marriage and that his wife will love him again. “My wife wants a divorce because she has lost passion and love for me. I pushed God away and wasn’t being the man she deserves. I did not have an affair or harm her in any way, but wasn’t the loving husband I needed to be."

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us, and if we know that He hears us, we know we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. - I John 5:14-15
