Knock, Seek, Ask and you will find...

God wants us to seek him out and He is there just waiting for us. Mathew 7:7-8 tells us to keep knocking and doors will be opened, seek and you will find, ask and you will be given what you ask. We get so caught up with self that we forget to just look up and SEEK HIM who will answer our prayers.

Raw Asking From Rachel' journal:

I stand back, God, and I watch those around me and ask myself, Which is it that they're feeling? What is it that they're thinking? Are they seeing you? Can they hear you? If so, why can't I? What am I doing so wrong that I can't reach that level? Everyone looks at me and thinks wow, what a together kinda girl. She's going good but you know God that I'm not. Why won't you fix that? I don't understand this feeling is killing me. God, why don't you do something? I know that you have already done so much, but why stop there? I want to reach a new level with you God. Take me there Please, God, take me there. I want that so much. I want to serve you. I want to be used by you to help others. But I feel like I can't do that until you change this feeling I have. Come to me God, and make use of me.
Your servant,
Rachel Joy

How awesomely raw and precious are her gracious words to God? How so many of us feel the same exact thing?!
