"You will seek Me and find Me, if you seek Me with all your heart." ~Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)

Dear heavenly Father, we offer You our praise, and thank You for Your Word, which is truly a light to our path. We're grateful for the promise You give, that we will find You if we seek You with all our heart. Lord, we pray that You'll add Your blessing to this study of Your Word. May those who take the time to study these passages be touched by Your Spirit. In Jesus' precious and powerful Name, Amen.
