Why "Seek, Fight, Pray"

It's the ache in my chest that puts me on my knees.

It's the joy of refuge

It's that moment when I realize God had been at work all along

It is the call that keeps repeating

It is the desire to see chains break

It's seeing mourning turn into dancing

It is the body I am a part of that rallies to whomever when the call is sounded

It is living my life in worship as I will for all eternity with my Savior

Seek: The treasure is God. He is what my heart longs for. My sinfulness, perverts that desire and I will seek good things as though they are God. Satisfaction is only fully met in Jesus. When I ache, when I long, it is an act of will to seek God. To surrender myself to Him.

Fight: This seeking is not unopposed. Satan would nothing more to keep me from loving and worshipping God. He tries to turn those longings into sin, which put up a barrier between me and God. I fight with the Truth of who God is. I let Jesus fight for my heart. I fight for others because I want them to know too.

Pray: What better place to be than before the throne of God? In prayer, I know and am known. Satan can't use what I have confessed and acknowledged before the throne. I cast myself on God's mercy...
