In my own words, the word says if we seek Him with ALL our hearts, He will be found by us. Continue seeking Him wholeheartedly, you will find HIm in due timing. Our timing is not God's timing so continue to wait upon Him. Psalm 27:14 declares, "Wait upon the Lord, be of courage and He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait i say on the Lord," Be encouraged!

It's a classic example why I admire you: You're humility to Christ and desire to be broken by him. May God's grace be with you to continue. Absolutely love this post.

I guess it is better to struggle with the problem and seeking God's grace than to be ignorant of it and plunging blindly ahead. Becky,

I know...and it's encouraging to know I'm not the only one who feels this way sometimes, but I do believe if we ask Him to come and we wait as long as it takes, He will...and sometimes, if we ask but are obliged to continue the motions of the day, He'll come at the most unexpected moment. “The stories…make me feel like I am missing something.” I know…and it’s encouraging to know I’m not the only one who feels this way sometimes, but I do believe if we ask Him to come and we wait as long as it takes, He will…and sometimes, if we ask but are obliged to continue the motions of the day, He’ll come at the most unexpected moment.

This whole issue is something that has been on my mind and heart a lot lately. The stories of men who had intimacy with God - everyone from Moses and David to David Brainerd and D.L. Moody - make me feel like I am missing something. Like you said, sometimes we have to gauge whether or not we are really meeting with God. Lew, I appreciate you coming by.
