Last night I enjoyed a special time of prayer for our college students, teachers, and children. Something my friend prayed stuck with me all night and this morning. He asked God to continue to “tug at the hearts” of our children so they would be drawn to seek God more and more. I remember that tug. I remember that drawing towards God.
In John 6:44, we hear Jesus talk about the Father drawing people to Him. We also know that in Jeremiah 31:3, God draws us to Him with lovingkindness. Or consider Romans 2:4 and how God’s kindness leads us, or draws us, to repentance. May it feel like an irresistible force.
May God tug at our hearts, drawing us more and more to Him.
We also prayed that students would feel attracted to godliness and repelled by “worthless things” (Psalm 119:37). What a great prayer for us all!
