Seeking God part 1: How to Find Happiness
Getting to the top of the Smith Rock, or racing to the end of the Christian journey isn’t the point of the story. If it were, then the success would be defined by those who could dash through life the quickest. If you’re seeking happiness, and searching for your place in God’s story, then consider His wager of being blessed from Psalms 119; 100% happiness as a byproduct of 100% seeking. Are you willing to pursue God and obey his Word with all your heart?
Seeking God part 2: How to overcome anxiety
When we follow Jesus, we have the opportunity to overcome our fears in life by asking God to take care of our worries. Do you want to follow Jesus into a fearless life? It's essential to make seeking the reign and rule of Jesus our number one priority. That's a tall order, but remember Jesus's words in the scripture - we are his dearly loved children. God desires a relationship with you and to love you as a parent loves their children. Will you choose to put His Kingdom first and not be anxious about the future?

So how do these things bring us close to God beyond the beauty and novelty of the experience? God creates these opportunities and it always in oru proximity; will you choose to reach out to him?
