"My heart says
of You, "Seek His face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek!" (Psalm
27:8)
Our struggle is not for the truth, nor it is because of the truth. Our struggle is with the knowledge of the truth and that struggle is often rooted in our "will!" We struggle when our heart is divided—wanting to please God, but at the same time seeking our own will.

“Commit thy works
unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established” (Proverbs 16:3 KJV).
As we seek the Lord
and commit our works [action, activity, conduct] to Him (cf. Ephesians 4:1;
Colossians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 2:12), He will establish our thoughts [plan,
intention, purpose].
In this world, we
will have trouble (cf. John 16:33), it is how we view the trouble that
determines the outcome. Jesus said, “be
of good cheer.”
Our victory is inextricably wrapped up in our relationship with God. When we are living and walking in Him, our thoughts, plans, intentions, and purposes become less and less significant or important, and His thoughts, plans, intentions, and purposes become our highest priority! (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:16-17).
"One thing have I
desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of
the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to
enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his
pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up
upon a rock” (Psalms 27:4-5 KJV).
Be VICTORIOUS! Seek the Lord and walk and live in Christ!
