Experience vs. Relationship (Part 2)

Whole books have been written on experiencing God. Many of us read the titles and envision tricks and tips to feel His presence, ways to hear and discern His voice, and secrets to enjoy spiritual disciplines that, honestly, sometimes are dry and boring.

Could the problem be that we are seeking the experience of God, without a relationship with God? 
Is our issue that we want to enjoy the high of God, without a day-by-day walk with God? 
Maybe we are seeking to know of God, without our lives being transformed with God?
So, maybe before seeking to experience God, we should ask -- no beg -- Him to grant us a desire to grow in relationship with Christ.
