Why do some people only seek Jesus in times of trouble?

Answered in 1 source

People often come to Jesus in distress because they recognize their need for mercy and deliverance.

In times of distress, many are compelled to seek Jesus due to the overwhelming realization of their need for salvation and relief from their burdens. David's followers, who included distressed, indebted, and discontented individuals, signify how God often uses dire circumstances to draw people to Himself. When faced with their own helplessness, individuals may finally acknowledge their need for Christ as Savior. This principle is vital in understanding that genuine conversion and commitment often arise from recognizing one’s sinful state and the desperate need for God's mercy. Thus, distress can serve as a catalyst for drawing individuals closer to Christ.
