Relationship with God

Everything we do in life is in a partnership with God. Obviously he is the dominant one in the relationship. Keeping him at the center of your life provides much joy, happiness and peace. This inner peace allows you to understand that God has a plan for you. Give your best everyday in the areas that matter to you, the big rocks. Have fun when it is time to have fun and enjoy your relationships with other people through the day. With God on your side and in partnership with you your life will go well with lots of happiness.

How do you all pray? I know that you say your prayers at night and believe you pray when your feet hit the floor in the morning, but please pray and talk to God all day. He is your partner so talk with him about all your feeling. Talk and pray to God with blistering honesty. He expects you to ask the tough questions. Often times in life we suppress any negative or bad feelings because we feel like we are acting as bad people. “As good Christians would not question God or think like I am thinking.” Life Lesson…God wants you to come to him with complaints and problems. He knows your human hence he understands what you deal with in life. We are far from perfect. Do not pretend that things are perfect when they are not because God expects you to come to him. The Bible is full of stories of people coming to God with complaints and issues. The Bible is not a book full of perfect people by any means. You can enjoy such a healthy relationship with God when you realize he knows you are not perfect yet he still loves you dearly, talk to him about this.

I often talk to you about how life gets off track in certain areas and that is why we must focus daily on our plans, daily reminders, and dreams. Many times very good Christians get completely off track with God. A terrible accident, tragic event, or death of a loved one can be the cause. Talking with others or reading a book can get you distracted. When this happens discuss all your feelings with God. Remind yourself too about the terrible death Jesus experienced, dying on the cross to save us and provide us everlasting life. Many difficult questions go unanswered in life. Starving kids, tragic accidents, and human nature cause us to question things. We may not find the answers in this life time. If we get distracted in our love and commitment to God, remember the horrible death Jesus died for us. He could have prevented it if he so choose. This helps to keep things in perspective.
