Here "search for God" represents desiring to know him, and "feel their way toward him and find him" represents praying and having a relationship with him. Alternate translation: "so that they should want to know God and perhaps pray to him and become one of his people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

This can be stated in positive form. Alternate translation: "Yet he is very near to every one of us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes]])
