He wants us to actually draw near to him first, and then he will in turn draw near to us. It isn’t, as has often been taught, that the Father draws us to him, and then we are close to him, It is as Jesus told the Pharisees in John, when he said, “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day” (John 6:40, ESV). Note that this is the same passage where, just a couple verses later, Jesus says the Father draws people to himself. Though, this drawing can’t be without a person’s will, for Jesus just told us it is the will of God that everyone comes to him. Accordingly, if it was that the Father draw people outside of their individual wills, then everyone would come to God because God would draw all to himself, Obviously, we know that’s not the case.
