I will give them hearts that recognize me as the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me wholeheartedly.

In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14I will be found by you,” says the Lord.

I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing. 14The priests will enjoy abundance, and my people will feast on my good gifts. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Lord God my Father,

Soften my heart to only follow you, give me strength to stay focused only on you. I want to really find you with all my heart. Your Joy is the only thing I wish to find, not my so called joy. On my own, I am miserable, I wish to constantly delight with you by the still waters.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
