Why should we pray that we’ll seek the Lord?

We should be eager to pray this verse because it’s part of a powerful promise: “…those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.” (Psalm 34:10) Wouldn’t you like assurance that you, your family, your ministry will have that all you need?

But how do we seek the Lord in the midst of today’s busyness and pressure? Perhaps the better question is: With a promise like this, how can we afford not to seek Him no matter how busy we are? We must seek Him in the midst of life as it is.

We must be consistently in the Word and prayer, but we don’t have to spend a long time every day. If our hearts are right with God, and we are honestly seeking to know Him, He will honor even ten minutes a day spent seeking Him. If that’s not how we’re living now, shouldn’t we challenge ourselves to make seeking Him our priority? What have we got to lose?
