When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Psalm 27:8-9

A heart that seeks after God is a heart that prays.  When we pray we begin to open up our heart to God.  When we pray we are seeking God.  We believe that He hears us and that He wants us to talk to Him.

If we desire to have a heart in this new year, we’ve got to be in communication with God.  Prayer helps us to talk to God and to align our desires with God’s desires for us.
