How to find God

in church


The first sure way to find God is...
pray and ask God to come into your life.

You may be afraid to let God into your life. This might mean a change in your lifestyle. But God offers an inner healing, and a peace and joy that the world cannot give.

When you call me, when you pray to me,
I will listen to you.
When you look for me, you will find me.
Yes when you seek me with all your heart
you will find me... Jeremiah 29:12

The second sure way to find God is...
follow His commandment to love your neighbor as yourself.

If we live selfish lives, don’t be surprised if God seems distant or irrelevant. But if we try to help the needy and the hurting, we have a much better chance of finding God.

I met a woman who lives in a room above a store in the run-down section of the city. She has been unemployed for many years and was recently discharged from hospital after suffering her second heart attack. Her brother, who has made a lot of money in real estate, does not help her.

Try to reach out to someone who needs help with a visit, a telephone call, or financial assistance. A woman suffering from depression was asked to bake cookies for people in an old age home. To her surprise, the love and joy that she received drove away her depression.



Is there a person in your life that needs your help? Many places in the Bible show that love of neighbor... doing what we can to help others... will always be important in finding God.

Don’t look for thanks. Often you will not find it, or it may come later. Finding God is your reward.

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
(Martin Luther King Jr.)

A third way to find God is...
attend a spiritual retreat.

Here you will meet others who are also searching for God.
