If you seek him, he will be found by you.44 Come near to God and he will come near to you.45 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.46 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.47 I [the Lord] live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit.48 Anyone who comes to him [God] must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.49
This last verse appears to state necessary conditions for finding Him—believing in His existence and in His desire to reward our search for Him. Another way to look at this verse is to focus on the promise it holds. This promise is that an earnest search for Him will always be rewarded and never disappointed.
