Questions???
| Is God really REAL??? Many people trust in God however how are we to really know? I want to believe that he is real and at times i really do. But when my faith in God is not so strong how can I be sure? Pressing on through prayer is really difficult especially when you're feeling like during prayer all that you are doing is processing a situation by yourself. Believe it or not, I have not lost all of my trust in God but Right now I am full of WHY QUESTIONS that have no answers yet. How am I supposed to answer some of these why questions when I have too much attitude and frustration with God. So many questions and subjects are running through my brain at amazing speeds and all with the same importance so where do I begin? Taking a long drive tonight has made me think about where i stand with God. Oh man am I small!!!! I'm pretty sure that God is real but I'm frustrated with the fact that God seems to appear more real in other people than in me. With understanding that I must want the relationship with God and be willing to build a relationship with God I have found some reality. My reality is that right now my relationship with God is not Strong. Also, I know that is up to me to reach out to God in order to change this relationship. This is going to be a lot of work to begin to try and find some answers for my own personal knowledge and trust. God help me to want you! This new post sounds awfully scary but it is truthful. Being honest about where I'm at is the first step. My second step is to ask for outside help! My third step is to press on and search for truth. I may question God and go for a ride in order to process feelings and information but in the end I am continuing to look for a better relationship with God for sharing with others as I learn. |

Sometimes when things look totally out of control, or we seem far far away from God we might feel the need to DO SOMETHING more, or harder or better or longer or deeper or stronger, put more muscle into what we think God wants us to do to get closer to Him. All that, is actually only what WE think, not God. Jesus Christ is GOD. Jesus Christ wants us to simply call on His Name and trust Him. He wants us to REST in Him and the knowledge that He knows all things and can, when we yield to Him...(an act of submission...yet yielding also means a GAIN)...so when we relax in Jesus Christ it allows Him to produce a great gain in us and in the strength that faith in Him brings. It is not up to us to figure things out, to understand the hurts and the pains and the shear craziness of this world. We trust Jesus Christ and say..."thank God you, Jesus, are in control, because this is just too much for me..." and leave it at that. Prayer, simple and direct. Daily if possible. Reading the Bible for the enjoyment of it. Daily if possible, will bring peace. If one is filled with God's spirit...the Holy Ghost...He is IN YOU, the Hope of Glory, and you cannot be any closer to God than that! Fear Not. Read Psalm 37 and rest in the absolute fact that God is real, Jesus Christ proves it. God is in control and we have the assurance that one day we will see things clearly. For now, we see only through a darkened glass. For now, live in faith and by faith, in any amount you have. No work needed, allow God to produce great gain (a yield) in you by relaxing in Him.
Much love to you
Grace and peace
