I believe that one of the greatest spiritual difficulties people face is knowing how to act and how to maintain the faith in times of anguish, difficulty or struggle.

And one of the biggest reasons that God's blessings or deliverances don't happen is that people are not willing to obey God as He commands and want the blessings, but they despise the will and directions of the blesser.

Obviously, God's blessings are always conditioned on our faithfulness to Him, but the generation of these blessings always begins with searching through prayer.

God has always wanted to be found by those who seek Him, and moreover, God instructed us to INVOKE HIM, and the word INVOKE means: CRY, BEG, CALL FOR HELP, ASK FOR ASSISTANCE.

INVOKE, a strong ordinance that God left us, because his response will also be in the same intensity, it will be strong, accurate, powerful and bigger than you can imagine.

See some verses from the Word of God, where God's desire to be called or sought:

Psalm 55:16 As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me.

Psalm 91:15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.

Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

What happens is that some people are not observing the details of the Word of God, as seeking goes far beyond declaring words, it actually means desiring to find the one who is sought and not just finding the blessing.

Whoever believes, lives his belief and to believe does not mean to act according to his heart or his thought, but it means to act according to the heart and the Word of God.

Many are giving the old demonic excuse for not praying or not seeking God: "GOD KNOWS MY HEART" and are increasingly sinking into their spiritual mediocrity, increasingly distancing themselves from God, living a life of illusions and form superficial, thinking that having money is his great blessing.

These people are unhappy, poor in spirit, who don't feel God and don't care about God's desires and will never achieve salvation.

Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

Psalm 34:19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.

It is not possible for a person to be “RIGHTEOUS” if he does not act according to the heart of God.

BEING RIGHTEOUS means having the blood of Christ on your life and acting according to the mind of Christ: 1 Corinthians 2:16 ... But we have the mind of Christ.

Having the mind of Christ means thinking like He thinks and acting like He did and then you will see the difference in God's responses to your cry.

Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.

The Lord bless you and keep you
