He is an awesome God and sincerely cares for His children.
All ways of seeking God demand understanding.
Do you have the understanding to seek God?

And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” Looking up to God is the way of life for Daniel.
