Podcasts about yearnings

Named after the radical painter JMW Turner, the Turner Prize was set up in 1984 to celebrate British Contemporary Artists.   On Tuesday 24 September 2024 Tate Britain unveiled the work of the four artists who have been shortlisted for this year's prize: Pio Abad, Jasleen Kaur, Claudette Johnson and Delaine Le Bas. At the press view for the Turner Prize 2024 exhibition RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey caught up with one of the Curator's of the exhibition Amy Emmerson Martin, Assistant Curator, Contemporary British Art at Tate Britain to firstly find out a bit more about the history and background to the Turner Prize to then an introduction to each of the four shortlisted Artists along with an overview of their work that impressed the Turner Prize panel which is on display at Tate Britain.   The winner of the Turner Prize 2024 will be announced on 3 December and the exhibition of the four shortlisted Artists work continues at Tate Britain until 16 February 2025. Description tours with one of Tate's Visitor Engagement Assistants can be booked in advance by either emailing hello@tate.org.uk or calling 020 7887 8888. About the four shortlisted Artists: Pio Abad presents a restaging of his nominated exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, which explores cultural loss and colonial histories. Featuring drawings, sculptures and museum artefacts, Abad brings together in-depth research and collaboration to highlight overlooked histories and connections to everyday life, often from the perspective of his Filipino heritage. Newly added works include Kiss the Hand You Cannot Bite 2019, which reimagines an Imelda Marcos bracelet as a three-metre concrete sculpture, are shown alongside works like I am singing a song that can only be borne after losing a country 2023, a drawing that turns the underside of Powhatan's Mantle - a Native American robe in the Ashmolean's collection - into an imagined map of colonised lands. Jasleen Kaur presents works from her nominated exhibition at Tramway, Glasgow. Rethinking tradition, Kaur creates sculptures from gathered and remade objects, each animated through an immersive sound composition. Items including family photos, a harmonium, Axminster carpet and kinetic worship bells are orchestrated to convey the artist's upbringing in Glasgow. A central feature is music, which is used to explore both inherited and hidden histories. Yearnings 2023, is an improvised vocal soundscape of the artist's voice, which is layered over snippets of pop songs playing from the speakers of Sociomobile 2023, a vintage Ford Escort covered with a large doily crocheted from cotton and filling the space with Kaur's own musical memory. Delaine Le Bas presents a restaging of her nominated exhibition at the Secession, Vienna. For her Turner Prize presentation, the artist has transformed the gallery into a monumental immersive environment filled with painted fabrics, costume, film and sculpture. Presented across three chambers, the work addresses themes of death, loss and renewal, and draws on the rich cultural history of the Roma people and the artist's engagement with mythologies. Textile sculpture Marley 2023, for example, reimagines Dickens' ghostly eponymous character as a harbinger of chaos, welcoming the viewer to this carefully constructed and captivating world, whilst the film Incipit Vita Nova 2023, projected onto organdie fabric, transports the viewer deep into a dreamlike sequence, matching the fluidity and distortion of the mirrored walls around it. Claudette Johnson presents a series of works from her nominated exhibitions at The Courtauld Gallery, London and Ortuzar Projects, New York, alongside new works. Using pastels, gouache, oil and watercolour, Johnson creates striking figurative portraits of Black women and men, often depicting family and friends. Her works counter the marginalisation of Black people in Western art history, shifting perspectives and investing her portraits with a palpable sense of presence. Friends in Green + Red on Yellow 2023 represents a recent development in her practice of creating double portraits, whilst Pieta 2024 is one of the artist's first works on wood, made from pastel and oil on bark cloth.

In Psalm 63, the songwriter sings about the love he has found… in God.  Yearnings met, soul satisfied, “Because your love is better than life my lips will glorify you… my heart will pursue you… I'll love you as long as I live!”  

In today's episode, I give you updates from my new life on the farm (here in Hudson Valley, New York) and share both the challenges and joys of renovating an old house. I share the resources and learnings I have gathered in creating and tending community from the perspective of someone who has just moved to a new place. Tune in to hear more from me on: - Living on a farm and renovating an old farmhouse - Why community is an important value and a vital need - How transitions in life, such as becoming a parent, can lead to a deeper understanding of the leaderships that calls to us - How creating community in a new place requires consistent effort and prioritizing low-pressure, low-stakes interactions - How challenges and moments of rejection can be overcome by resourcing oneself and seeking support Resources + Links -Sarah Wildeman @ Our Common -My book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the Self -Connect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelli Timestamps [0:00] Welcome back to the podcast [4:22] Life updates and the joys & challenges of farm life and living in our caretaker cottage during renovations[9:03] How I am starting over in community creation (and why it's a big priority for me) [12:17] The deep desire for leadership and community tending that emerges in becoming a parent and in becoming a mother [13:17] Yearnings for council, sacred connection and co-regulation, a pull to circle (yes, even amidst the busyness)[14:24] Cultivating connection and community in the age of loneliness (in a culture that tells us it's not possible)[16:27] How to create and go forth in creating community in a new place [19:22] Overcoming the resistance and the challenges in community creation and trusting that we are resourced and supported [20:21] Where to continue this connection together 

(Psalm 63) Imagine yourself living in Israel before Jesus, longing and waiting for the long-anticipated Messiah that God had promised to his people. Even though you did not know his name there were many other names you might have used to pray for his coming. Advent and Christmas remind us once again that God has come in the flesh. And yet we continue to pray “Come, Lord Jesus” because we have a deep yearning for the divine, a deep longing for Jesus to come today and in the future. This Sunday we are going to reflect and pray these yearnings for God by using the names for Jesus we find in the Old Testament, names that were used in some early Advent prayers called the O Antiphons.

Christmas Day, a time traditionally filled with joy and celebration, often masks a harsher reality for many—myself included. In this episode, I lay bare the striking duality of the festive season against the backdrop of my own struggle with addiction, depression, and the heartache of estranged relationships with my ten children. But as I speak from the heart, it's not just a tale of sorrow; it's a testament to unyielding love and the relentless pursuit of happiness within ourselves.Within the safe space of our conversation, the themes of love and forgiveness take center stage. My story is one of hitting rock bottom, confronting suicide attempts, navigating the rocky terrain of failed relationships, and ultimately, embarking on a path to recovery that began in 2007. I unfold the lessons that life has tossed my way, revealing how forgiveness isn't just about others—it's a salve for our own souls, enabling us to thrive in the here and now, no matter the emotional turmoil that holidays and significant dates might stir within us.I wrap up the episode with a candid look at the odyssey to self-love and the transformative power it wields. Breaking free from the chains of self-loathing and addiction starts with recognizing one's inherent worth and taking decisive steps towards change. The power to shape our destiny lies within each of us, and I extend a heartfelt call to action: to harness our individual talents and experiences in service to others, to live authentically and joyously, as we all deserve. Join me on this journey toward an ultimate life—one of love, prosperity, and unbridled joy.-----------------------------------------Calling All Coaches... This popular challenge is BACK.

I woke up at 38 and realized I'd checked all the boxes on my wish list. A boy, a girl, a house, a good job, a cute husband, a degree, and money in the bank. But I'd never felt more lost and bewildered. Why wasn't I happy? I'd gotten exactly what I wanted. Reading Sue Monk Kidd's When the Heart Waits and Martha Beck's Way of Integrity opened my eyes about why I didn't feel good despite getting what I wanted. In this episode, we talk about wantings vs yearnings. What the brain thinks you want vs what the heart wants. If you feel empty this Thanksgiving, this discussion will give you a lot to chew on.

Today's devotion is written by Kiki Rocha.

Today JD & Col have been Yearning to record an episode in-person, and they finally did! After sitting (literally) in the feeling of reconnecting physically they explore how yearning, an intense longing for something, relates to how we approach and experience diagnosis and self-identity as Mad folk. JD sums it up perfectly when they say “That when it comes to Mad Practice that yearning has been with me so long, the yearning to want to talk about and know mental illness differently.” They talk through what it feels like to “receive” a diagnosis of some mental illness, both the real validation and access to care it brings and the limitations of being put into the most suitable box. They talk through common ways into the mental health system, the often traumatic way in when in crisis and the privileged way in via family doctors, and how to empower ourselves and each other to navigate these systems. A frequent saying that JD and Col both use in their community organizing is to aim for everyone getting what they need and a fair bit of what they want. Dear listener, thank you for listening and we hope that as you feel your own Yearnings you likewise get what you need (and at least some of what you want).

Dr. Kavaler-Adler addresses Cravings versus Yearnings in Bulimia and Anorexia, as well as the multilevel hunger in both. Psychic Visualization technique (used consistently in Dr. Kavaler-Adler's monthly groups) helps to hone in on these topics. During Psychic visualizations, one's stomach area focuses on dialogues with hunger, hate, rage, and anger towards Internal Others; while one's heart focuses on dialogues with the love, longings, yearnings, loss, yearnings, and grief for Internal Others. Connecting to the emotional hunger cravings in the stomach brings up very different communication than focusing on the yearnings, longings, and passionate love desire in the heart. Anorexic people locate the absence of the other in the oral cavity, and the therapist working with them can feel the aloneness and emotional hunger in the oral cavity area. Emotional need is channeled in oral channels rather than through heart channels. Other Eating Disorders may have similar dissociative body displacements. Splitting and conflict between cravings and yearnings are experienced by participants of the Psychic Visualizations, with Developmental Mourning that integrates the heart and stomach psychic channels.

Known for her perceptive commentary and incisive questioning, she's interviewed over 200 sustainability, social justice, and public health thought leaders.She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:That "we just have to constantly reiterate and hone and create synergies with other people who have diverse different views."That "collectively we might be able to come up with new ideas that wouldn't have happened if we were to think and ideate separately in silos."That we are "increasingly waking up to the reality that infinite economic growth is fundamentally incompatible with supporting circularity and the regeneration of life".That "when we orient growth towards the right things, whether that be relationships, intimacy, or complexity, that is what actually can bring us stability".That there's a growing awareness of the need to "realign our deep yearnings as people, as interconnected communities, as Earth".ResourcesGreen Dreamer Podcast: greendreamer.com/podcast-1 Book: Thrive by Kamea ChayneConnect with Kamea ChayneWebsite: greendreamerkamea.com Instagram: instagram.com/greendreamerkameaTwitter: twitter.com/kameachayne Follow WCPGR/Resilience.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/buildresilience​Twitter: https://twitter.com/buildresilience​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildresilienceLearn More: https://bit.ly/wcpgr-resSupport the show (https://www.resilience.org/what-could-possibly-go-right-podcast-vicki-robin/supportthepodcast/)

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: David Vryhof “In order for us to hear the voice of God, it's not about our ears, but much more about our hearts.” —David Vryhof, SSJE Instead of using the term “God's will” David and Steve unpack a healthy alternative: God's yearnings for us. God desires for us is to live with him, noticing his empowering presence, and trusting him to abide in us. Paying attention to God's yearnings is a lifelong pursuit, marked by times of obvious lucidity when the way forward is clear. Other times, we are confronted by multiple choices, and we pay attention to the consolation or desolation in our hearts. Still, there may be a need for us to simply wait on God and fulfill our heart's desires in God's timing.

All of us get caught up in the shoulds and I can't of our creative life, but Susan Piver has learned, through decades of meditation and practice, to disregard these inner voices. Susan regards all of her creative endeavors as art projects, a chance to get her hands in the clay of creativity and create something beautiful. Susan has learned to open her heart to the creative yearnings and she's passionate about helping other creatives approach their own work with the same level of curiosity and generosity. In this episode, we also discuss: - How to remove ourselves from the expectations of our audience - How we can use our creativity to teach others - Why sometimes it's the right thing to hide from others - How to give ourselves permission to evolve our creative tastes and passions -How Susan creates while dealing with chronic pain --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jennifer-louden/support

Elizabeth Hargrave is one of the world's most respected table top game designers, and the birth of her bestselling, award-winning board game "Wingspan" came out of a simple desire: she was tired of playing games that wasn't about trolls, castles, and zombies. So guess what? She created her own, and it's about ornithology. Yep, birds. There is so much to learn about this act of defiance. If we yearn for something, chances are, MANY people do to. Elizabeth has since published three games all related to nature, and she's built a beautiful community around those with a shared passion. Among others things, we also discussed: - What it takes to design a board game - Why creating board games is inherently vulnerable (and what we can learn from that) - Why all notes are valuable if we search for "the note under the note" - How we can use our creative passions to champion social justice - How to be a minority within your creative space, and how to champion other minority voices Enjoy The Show! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jennifer-louden/support

"The songs that never should have been" perhaps, this week, along with "the roads never travelled". We take a look at songs we've been involved with or songs we've written that perhaps shouldn't have been, or at the least, are best consigned to the bargain bins of history. And we conjure up memories of what routes we could have taken, had music not been our draw. Kev covers more kilometres on his trek along the Camino, Steve brings the spirit of the Naked Juggler back, and the Bishop finally gets round - get it? - to bagels.

1:33 John begins a meditation Connect to your breathing.Can you experience your body? What is your body telling you right now?Can you be aware of your feelings?Can you watch your thoughts? Presently, past, future?Acceptance and awareness. How do you experience yourself at this moment?John invites us to bring in a change, a positive energy of gratitude.6:50 We begin our conversation. John meets Virginia In January 1970.John's training was Rogerian where he learned to not ask questions. John observed that Virginia asked many many questions.10:25 John talked about the first workshop. They were supposed to learn about family therapy but the emphasis was on learning about oneself , one's family of origin. “Getting your own act together.” as John put it. Virginia did a lot experiential activities such as sculpting of families. Participants experienced and learned about the difference between incongruent and congruent communication.13:04 What John learned and inspired him in the first meeting? John witnessed Virginia helping to make changes every minute. There was an immediate change that was positively directional in terms of their relationship to themselves and others. Virginia's work was very positive and humanistic.15:00 John appreciated how Virginia was able to go beyond intellectual learning and to help people experience what was going on. She helped people transcend their immediate experience by feeling fully what was there and going deeper to a core sense of Self. She helped people discover what was getting in the way of being in tune with themselves and these could be feelings, perceptions and expectations.16:40 How can I be congruent within myself and take responsibility for my life?17:10 How did Virginia use her Self to make contact? She was fully present with others. You would experience her. You could feel her energy. She truly believes that we are unique, precious and loveable. We can have better and happier life.Her belief in people helped people connect more deeply to themselves,and to life.18:26 “I'll help you light your candle” Virginia would bring her light candle and it inspired people to look for their own light inside of themselves.19:24 How did Virginia become so positive? John suspects that her experience as a teacher has a big influence, but really it's a mystery. But he describes that when he met her it felt good to be in her presence and that she was fully blossoming at that time.21”42 Virginia came to Manitoba for 3 months to work at various levels of governemnt.22:25 Vrigina did what could be called family reconstruction across 3 generations. How to deal with the person in the present based on impacts of the past. “Changing the environmental impact” of our existence so they could change it at an energetic level.24:00 John differentiates four levels of Virginia's work: information, process, meaning, energy level.25:30 What is energy? “all life is energy” What is human energy and how can we be in touch with it? It could start with awareness, attitude, feelings, but deeper there is a flow of positive life energy. Operating at this level we can get in harmony with ourselves, others and the universe.27:10 I ask John to reflect on Virginia's work and it's relevance to the current COVID pandemic.John emphasizes ‘going inside' and learning to become aware of one's own reactions to what is going on (their thoughts and feelings)29:00 Can we become aware of a deeper sense of life? Virginia has an idea that there was a greater energy than us as individuals. Some call it God, Being, Spirit, and we could connect to it. Viriginia believed in an inherent healing quality of people's mind that was analogous to people's ability to heal from physical injury.32:50 First, become aware of how we experience ourselves. Most of the time we could find that we live in a negative way either too much in the past or too much in the future.(How do I experience myself? How do I think? How do I feel? How do I move? What am I not thinking, feeling and doing? Where are my blind spots? What do I avoid? In terms of loving myself and others what do I do, what do I not know how to do, what am I afraid to do?How are we educated about how to experience ourselves more fully (others and life more fully)?33:30 John asks “How I help you to be in charge of how you experience yourself? How can you take charge of your unmet expectations, your feelings, attitudes and thoughts? In order to be in charge, we need to look at change.John describes the process of connecting to a more positive attitude or linking to higher or deeper energy and change attitude, expectations, feelings and behavior.We can change our feelings by elevating them to a higher level of vibration. For example, getting in touch with gratitude as in the meditation at the beginning.An example of expectations, something happened that should have happened or that should not have happened. If something was unmet, I would react. Virginia Satir taught, “Can you accept without liking?” This can be very difficult. We can choose to let go, accept or create a new expectation.Perceptions would go through a similar process. Creating new ideas for ourselves.37:00 Tim comments that attitudes or mindsets like acceptance and gratitude or higher-order perspectives or ways of thinking that transcend the individual's needs and considers others and the context.38:30 John describes the Self as a natural energy that have basic yearnings. Just as trees have basic needs, humans have them too.We get our yearnings met through our experience. Virginia hoped that we would be responsible for meeting our yearnings.What does it mean to meet your own yearnings?I take charge of my feeling of my needs, of my saying and asking. I take charge of how I manage myself, who I ask.I don't leave it up to others.Symptoms are a manifestation that we are not meeting our yearnings.- John Banmen40:30 Virginia would not say how did that person make you feel. She would ask “What did you see and hear from them that you took in and created the feeling of sadness?”Yearnings are foundational energy within people trying to manifest through people and in relationships.42:42 John shares his personal journey of moving from Manitoba to BC and then becoming a professor at the University of British Columbia and then reconnecting with Virginia Satir in 1980. Virginia started doing process communities in 1981 which were 30 day training programs.48:00 Virginia emphasized the development of congruence which would enable them to perform well across any role. John describes congruence: To be in harmony with your basic life energy, the universal Self, and your personal self and your experience (feeling, perceptions, and expectations) and then being in harmony with others. John makes the point that being in tune with your feelings would not be congruent because congruence incorporates a larger energy that transcends the individual.53:51 John asks the question, “As a human how can we be in touch with who we really are?” Virginia would use the phrase to be fully human.John continues to describe the experience of the process community. People could practice at being more congruent, in charge, positive, and have a different experience of themselves.There were three levels : Virginia working with the whole group, the 3 main trainers working with groups of 30, and then all the triads working together in the evening.56:00 They would look at how they were coping in a survival way and this would mark a state of being out of harmony with the Self (incongruent). From here, participants would work towards congruence and being in harmony with their Self.57:30 How can we create a context of safety so we can look at our coping patterns lovingly?Virginia modelled in her own way of being, loving, caring, curious, and accepting. Her energy helped open people up to do their work.59:20 Tim asks John how Virginia's energy impacted him personally and professionally. John reflects that he tried his best to be congruent, to look at what was going on in him and what was coming out of him. “How can I be?” and “how can I apply?” what I am learning were seemingly two questions that became one. There was a constant introspection, a process as Virginia called it, of taking a look and being in charge,We discuss how recipes don't work in working in this kind of way. That there was a kind of wisdom to Virginia that empowered her to work fluidly and unpredictably and yet very effective. Tim reads from the Tao Te Ching to paint a picture of this wisdom that transcends intellectual knowing.1:03:35 John feels that our emphasis on understanding the psychological component means we can overlook the spiritual nature of Virginia's work. This life energy is beyond thought, beyond the body, non-dualistic. Beyond our emotional and mental capacity, lies a layer of life experience that Virginia was accessing.1:05:50 John explains the various level by which you can analyze and understand the Satir model. John describes a spiritual transformation; to be one.We are more than our thoughts and feelings.Here are some affirmations or a short meditation that can help you reflect on the core energy within you:I am a positive expression of life.I am goodness manifested.I am alive. I am whole. I am one.1:08:20 John hopes that we can bring Virginia's work can be used therapeutically but he sees that her work transcends this application and is a deeply spiritual teaching.1:08:45 John's hope and wish for the Satir Model is beyond a family therapy but a life model; how to be alive. He feels that her work teaches us to be, not just how to think and to feel.1:11:00 We discuss the difference between using technique to simply shifts states of mind as opposed to Virginia's seed model which had as its aim the expression of each individuals unique life force.There is the energy, the yearnings that actuate potential(the yearning for love, the yearning to live, to contribute, for peace)There are guiding beliefs that help point us in the right direction that is wisdom(you can only connect with one person at a time. We are hallucinating our experience. Perception is reality. The way we cope is what is important not how can we not have problems.I can take responsibility for my experience and yearnings. I can comment on the form from you which I see and what that brings up in me)In life, I need to risk hurting and being hurt if I am honest with what I feel, need, yearn for; if I wish to risk loving and being loved.Then there are behavioral skills that act as guidelines for the concrete expression of that attempt to meet a yearning.1:13:00 John shares about his work after Virginia died. They started work in Hong Kong, then in Taiwan then later in Canton. Psychoanalysis was the main psychological practice in China. They were eager to learn other western psychotherapy models.1:16:00 John felt that sharing that each person has a Self was a major contribution that fueled the motivation of students in China towards Virginia's work. Their emphasis on personhood and of having value. “We helped them ground themselves in themselves” John explained.1:20:00 John felt that politically that the model fit within China's cultural values because it taught greater responsibility. Their emphasis was also on teaching competency and that would empower them to be more helpful to others.1:23:00 Tim asks what transformation occurred with the introduction of the idea of a Self. John begins in awareness, awareness of parents' learnings and coping patterns. They would look at family dynamics and dominance hierarchies. They would sculpt the survival defensive patterns. They would then look at congruence, experientially as a transformational state.It was very powerful for parents to see themselves with their parents in a survival state often placating to them. They would reflect on their feelings and experience in being in these patterns. How would they like to be? What relationship would you like to see happen?Virginia would often sculpt congruence as two people on their feet making eye contact at the same height (often using stools and chairs to help).1:29:00 How can I be on my own two feet? How can I be aware of my survival coping patterns? Tim makes the point that our survival coping patterns aren't necessarily learned. They are forms adapted from basic instinctual energies of fight, flight and freeze.1:30:25 Helping the Chinese to be happy, healthy and successful with a goal of 65 Million which is the tipping point to create a nation-wide transformation. The Chinese see happiness as a birthright which is alignment with the type of workshops and trainings which John is responsible for.1:33:00 John describes what he means by happiness as being congruent: peace within, peace between and peace among.1:35:00 The Chinese have a concept of Chi, energy, which is how John understands and teaches the Satir model. He has been given the feedback that Virginia's work helps people understand their culture and Chi even more.1:36:00 What has been most impactful is the creation of experiences (experiential), not just philosophical or intellectual understanding.Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu (Translated by Jonathan Star)Verse 15The masters of this ancient pathAre mysterious and profoundTheir inner state baffles all inquiryTheir depths go beyond all-knowingThus, despite every effortWe can only tell of their outer signs--Deliberate, as if treading over the stones of a winter brook.Watchful, as if meeting dangers on all sidesReverent, as if receiving an honored guestSelfless, like a melting block of icePure, like an uncarved block of woodAccepting, like an open valleyThrough the course of NatureMuddy water becomes clearThrough the unfolding of lifeMan reaches perfectionThrough sustained activityThat supreme rest is naturally foundThose who have Tao want nothing elseThrough seemingly emptyThey are ever fullThrough seemingly oldThey are beyond the reach of birth and death

Jesus says to you: Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. The reason you don't need to worry is because of what Jesus says in the next verse: for your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. Matthew ‭6:31-32‬ This is what Jesus said earlier in the Chapter in Matthew 6:8:When you pray Know your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. Matthew ‭6:7-8‬ For the Holy Spirit comes to your aid and Bears you up in your weaknesses; he knows you need His Help in Everything, so He comes alongside in your prayer to offer up your request worthily, when you're weak to give you strength when you lack the knowledge to give you understanding and wisdom. Because the Holy Spirit helps you, for he is your Helper. He Speaks to God on Your Behalf with Yearnings and Groanings Too Deep for Utterance. He Intercedes before God On Behalf Of You According to an in on me with God's will. (Psalms 139:1-2, Romans 8:26-27)So you can be assured and know that God being a partner in your labor, ministry or prayer that God is working all things work together and fitting them into a plan for good for you who love God and are called according to His design and purpose. Romans ‭8:28‬ Jesus asked the Father to give you another Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby like Him, Who would Remain with You Forever – the Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you constantly and will be in you. John ‭14:16-17‬ So with the Holy Spirit As Your Helper Now, Jesus Tells You to seek first formost, make it your chief aim to see the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, His way of doing and being right, which require God himself to give you the power and desire to do things his way and to please him. Matthew ‭6:33‬ Then Jesus says, you can rest assured the father will give you everything you need. God will take care of you liberally supplying all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to you in Christ Jesus. Philippians ‭4:19‬Ues, you the Holy Spirit Who is from God, given to you that you might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly bestowed on you by God. Realizing You Have Nothing to Worry about. Because your father knows the things you have need of before you ask him. (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:12, Matthew 6:8, 33)‬‬And this is the confidence, the assurance, the privilege of boldnes which you have as a child of God in Christ: you are sure that God knowing everything you need, and the Holy Spirit offering your request to God as he knows God will fulfill, being the very spirit of God himself. You know your request was made according to the will of God, in agreement with his own plan, and he listens to you and here's you.And since you positively know that God listens to you and whatever you ask, knowing the Holy Spirit is presenting it to Him, Then You Also Know with settled and absolute knowledge that God grants to you as your present position the request you made of Him.(1 John ‭5:14-15‬ )Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them” (John 6:44). In other words, the only way we can seek God is if the Holy Spirit has first stirred our hearts with a desire for God. It is God who draws us to Himself. Ephesians 2:8 underscores this truth: “By grace are you saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God.” Even the faith to believe for salvation does not originate within our fleshly nature. God enables the fallen human heart to seek Him, when in our own self-centered rebellion we would never do so. Every good thing originates with God (James 1:17). Faith in God is a good thing, and so it also originates with God.SEEK GOD'S PRESENCE AT THE BEGINNING of your DAY, Connecting with Him Early Honors Him As First Place in your Life. Bowing Your Time Before the Father and the LORD Jesus Christ; yo Find He Strengthens with MIGHTY POWER in the Inner man by the Holy Spirit within you.- Eph 3:15-16Seek the Lord and His strength; yearn for and seek His face and to be in His presence continually!‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16:11‬ ‬
