If there is a genuine desire to be near God, there will be a commitment to prayer and to the study of the Word of God.
There will be a commitment to public and private worship.
Those who want to linger near the Lord will find a way. When we make a move toward God, He will make a move toward us,
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
“Is your burden heavy as you bear it all alone? — Does the road you travel, harbor dangers yet unknown? — Are you growing weary in the struggle of it all? — Jesus will help you when on his name you call.
“He is always there, hearing every prayer, faithful and true. — Walking by our side, in his love we hide all the day through. — When you get discouraged just remember what to do. — Reach out to Jesus, he's reaching out to you.”
