Please read devotional #36 from Proverbs 8:17 which speaks to Gods' response to those who seek him. God does reward those who seek him by allowing the seeker to find him.

One of my grandsons at the age of three was overjoyed at even the thought of playing hide-n-seek. He took particular delight in hiding. When he discovered a place that offered some concealment, as he began entering that place, he would begin to giggle. His giggling would grow in volume until the seeker found him. He gave away his place of concealment to the seeker. I reached the conclusion that he wanted to be found. He wanted to be discovered and rejoined to the company of the seeker.

There is some stipulation to finding God who wants to be found. He wants to be found by those who have a heart of love for him. It is not about the size of your need, great or small. But it is about your heart and desire to connect with the Lord with a heart motivated by love. To know the Lord is to love him. 1 John 4:7-9 tells us of Gods' love for us and our response to that love. Seeking the nearness of God is like entering the source of power for all that is necessary for life, godliness and all the issues of life (2 Peter 1:3). By drawing near to God, perhaps we might dare to laugh at our otherwise fearful circumstances.
