Now, seeking God's face may sound like a pretty big order to fill. After all, the Almighty doesn't turn up around every corner. He is a Sovereign Being enthroned up in heaven. But actually, Scripture shows us a very simple means of seeking God's face. That is, prayer.
Prayer is a way of looking.
Generally, we view prayer as request time. We present our shopping list before the Almighty. We tell God how rough things are and ask Him to improve our situation. It's certainly true that God is eager to meet our needs. Petitions are an important part of prayer.
