everybody needs somebody. no one can spend the entirety of their lives without having at least one person to talk to or rely on. yes, sometimes, we like to be left alone; but, we cannot be like that forever. we eventually need someone; we all need a friend. usually family and friends fill this role.
then also, everybody needs God. friends are important and necessary; but, there is only so much they can do. then, we realize the need for someone greater - greater than us, greater than our friends, greater than all. we look for someone to whom we can take all our worries to, someone with a hope greater than what the world could provide, someone with a love greater than what anyone could sacrifice. so, we set out in search for God. why is this so? i believe St. Augustine's words answer that best: 'God hast formed us for Himself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Him.'
and guess what Christ said: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28)
