They will keep looking but still not find him

They will stop caring about him altogether

They will find him if they search hard enough

They will be sent to look somewhere else first

People can reach him if they try hard enough

Respond to him now with trust and obedience

Wait until it is more convenient to decide

Treat the warning as only a clever puzzle

Look for another route that avoids him personally

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and put you off. I turn from my sin and from every false way. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I receive you as my Lord and Savior, and I ask you to lead my life. Amen.

Receive Jesus Today

Lord, awaken your Church to seek you with whole hearts. Deliver us from delay, from shallow interest, and from searching everywhere else first. Make us quick to hear, quick to repent, and quick to come to you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Your Church's Hunger for Jesus

Pray by naming one part of Jesus' words that unsettles you, asking God for patience to keep listening, and asking for one faithful next step rather than postponing obedience.

Pray Through a Hard Saying

Bring these to God: hesitation, distraction, half-hearted searching, a desire to know Jesus truly, and a willingness to come to him now.

Seeking Without Delay

Lord, for anyone who feels that you are out of reach, draw near in mercy. Give them clarity, courage, and a living desire to seek you today, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

For Those Who Feel Distant

Give thanks for Jesus' honest words, for warnings that keep us from delay, for the mercy that still invites response, and for the grace to seek him while our hearts are stirred.

Thanks for a Warning That Helps
