Searching for God

In Revelation 3:20 (KJV), God says,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
("Sup" means "dine" or "share a meal.") And in Isaiah 57:13 (KJV), God says,
He that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
These verses point to a theme that runs throughout the Bible: We must actively seek God, and such seeking should be a constant part of our prayers. God is there; he is present. But it's our responsibility to search for him. As Jesus said in Matthew 7:7 (KJV),
Seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you
