"There is nothing more frustrating than preparing to walk out of the house and then realizing you have lost your keys. You search everywhere, even places that you wouldn't have expected them to be because you're desperate. When you find them … instant relief!
In Jeremiah, we read about a type of desperation in our relationship with God. Although we don't have assurances that we will find our keys or other items we are looking for in life, when we seek after God, Jeremiah 29:13 says we will find Him. There is a caveat, however; we must seek God with all of our hearts.
When we are desperate to find our keys, we look frantically everywhere. We immediately begin thinking, "What will I do?" "What's going to happen if I don't find them?" "Why did I lose them in the first place??" We think those panicked thoughts because we need to have our keys -- it's a necessity.

Imagine if we transferred that level of desperation into our walk with the Lord. What would we do without the Lord? It should cause us to seek God like everything in our lives depends on finding Him… because it does.
When we seek after God with all of our hearts, we find everything we need and will ever need. He will never leave us, and He longs for a relationship with us. Seek God and His ways, and you will always find Him.
