Every Christian endeavors to have the presence of God nearer to them. If you are hungering after God, you are not the only one. Ranging from seeking motivation from others to engaging in personal reading of the scripture, there are numerous ways to get in touch with God. This article elaborates excellent nuggets on how to have a dialogue with God.
For those who really want to draw into the presence of their Maker, prayer will be a powerful tool. It is the best way to converse directly to the Supreme Creator. We all suffer periods of prayer difficulties. The best way to ensure that you pray constantly is by drawing a prayer journal.
Honesty is the cardinal aspect of any effective prayer. Pride and boastfulness hinder communication to God. Only those that accept themselves as constant sinners stand a chance of being heard by Him. Accept Christ as the only way through which you may attain ultimate salvation.
Confessing your sins to the Everlasting One is relieving and fulfilling. Those who do not accept that they are sinful are the chief of sinners. The Creator will not accept your prayers until you accept yourself as a sinner. Only them shall He pardon your transgressions and treat you as a child.
Seek the guidance of mature Christians. They have been into the journey for a great deal of time and well comprehend the challenges you are going through. You must not engage them physically but can also watch sermons on the televisions, on the Internet, as well as reading both published and online articles about Christian maturity.
Your mind is the best place to meet with Jehovah. He made it and left a space for Himself. Even if you do not engage Him there, there still is a space for him. Imagine Him seated on his golden throne, dispensing mercy and compassion, but also judgment and justice. Throughout scriptures, and majorly through the prophets the Almighty complains of people who worship him with their lips but not their hearts and minds.
Make use of your church minister. Make use of him as your Christian parent. Let him help you conquer inability to pray, lack of faith, and your failure to consistently read the Holy Word. As a young Christian, many Biblical accounts may prove rather tricky to understand. Since your spiritual leader has widely read the scripture, they are the right persons to help you understand the Bible better. The problem with many young people today is that they do not actively engage their spiritual guardians in a frank and honest manner. This is why they conclude by saying salvation is impossible and that faith in God is impractical.
Finally, it pays a lot to read the gospel on a daily basis whenever you can. Brush aside wherever critics and philosophers say about the Bible and take it as the documented absolute voice of the Creator. It is impossible to hope to grow as a Christian unless you are an avid reader of the Bible. Just like prayer, there are some days on which you will not like reading the Bible. Drawing a timetable on how to explore both the New and Old Testaments of the scripture is a profound go-ahead. To unfailingly have a dialogue with God, you cannot avoid perusing the scripture with a prayerful heart and an open mind.
