Most of the times, we seek God mainly when we need something. We don’t seek God without wanting something, while we want that thing our desire to fellowship with him grows, we try so hard to be on our best behaviour. But once that need is met, the desire falls like gravity, we totally forget to pray or if not totally just once in a while prayer ,so it won’t be like you are backsliding. This ought not to be so,we ought to seek God whether or not we want something, once in a while we need to make up our mind not to ask God for anything and just praise him from the bottom of our hearts.
Things like this moves God to even give you what you haven’t yet asked for or what you don’t even think you need. The Bible says that God will reward those who diligently seek him. So don’t make it and habit to seek God only when you feel you need him.
I’m partly sure nobody wants a friend that only comes to you when he/she needs something and after you have met that need, he/she totally forgets you exist and if you are lucky he/she remembers, you will be treated like an acquaintance. So if you are sure you don’t want that kind of friend ,then don’t be that kind of friend to God. Remember you only reap what you have sown.
