Seek Me First

“Seek Me First’ means talk to God when you have problems. Build a relationship with him. I have heard this phrase for years, but it meant nothing to me because I didn’t really know how to do this. If you imagine God to be someone that is actually really real, like here on earth. Put him in the same category as one of your trusted friends, relatives or even your pet. Someone that you have talked to in the past. Then, when you are worried, have a conversation ( out loud, or in your heart and mind) with God. In plain english. Just like you are talking to one of your friends or your pet. In your words. It could be as simple as this:

God, I know you are out there. I’m sorry that sometimes I don’t feel that you are here, protecting me, and guiding me. I’m sorry that I have forgotten about the times that you have helped me in the past. Thank you for the many times you have helped me in the past. I need you now. Please help me with this problem I am having. I know it may seem small, but it’s really important to me. I cannot do this without your help. Please help me, and thank you. Amen.
